  ‘HARVARD’S CLOSE CALL Carlisle Indians Defeated in a Hafd-FOught Game. cRIMSON’S RAGGED WORK The Cambridge Boys BACKS Show Up Well in the Punting Lines, hut the Tackles Prove Exceptionally Weak-Hain Falls, Throughout the Contcst-Dctails of the Game. Cambridge, Mass, Oct 29-For the first time this season the Harvard Varsity | eleven found themselves facing an oppo- | nent with the score to against them | in the early stages of the game, and for time 1t looked as though the Indians might give the men in crimson u tight ! pull for the victory. The Harvard men. | however, made brace and managed to make touchdown in the first half | through fluke play, and another in the second half giving them the victory. / The weather conditions were. about as bad as could be, and rain fell about 2 o’clock and continued throughout the / game. This, however, did not prevent the | crowd of 5000 people from coming out to see the game. The game was especially disheartening to the Harvard supporters. The home | teams play was from the first decidedly ragged, good plays at intervals being the | only point to bring encouragement to | Harvard. Much of the Indians failure to make the score against them less was the ability of the Harvard backs in the punt ing line. ! The Harvard tackles proved exception ally weak, the Pierce boys having Donald and Mills on the string throughout the ! game Most of the Carlisle plays were ! directed at this partaof the line, and 1t was here that most of their gains were | made. AT times II looked as If there were a driveway through the Harvard center, and through this hole the Indian backs came tearing for Irresistible gains. On the toss-off the ball fell to the In dians, Harvard taking the west and what little advantage there was to be | derived from the wind. Pierce sent the ball down the field. DAILY rooted II to midfield. where Miller received 1t, and ! was downed near the middle of the field. At once Hudson began sending his men here and there for feelers, but the downs did not yield the required five yards and he dropped back and sent punt down to DAILY. | Carlisle here sprung a surprise on Har- | ward by throwing Dibblee and Warren ! back for loss on their attempts at | end gaining and steadfastly refusing the | Crimson backs any approach to an ad- | mission to her center. Cochrane was sent back on kick formation and gave the Indians the ball by punting 1t directly into their line and Bemis Pierce | secured the ball The Indians gallopcd | the ends for small gains and then Me- | token went into the Crimson territory for | fifteen yards. The ball was now well within Harvard’s twenty-yard line. | The Harvard line was playing fast and | furious, and when the Indians could | make no gain either at end or center, 1 rns.s faf | the field and when just abreast of the goal-posts went straight for them until | tackled and thrown. On the next play | Hudson dropped back for a kick and | Just missed the goal-posts. on the kick out, Miller ran fifteen yards and then slipped through the tackles for | fifteen yards. Carlisle consistently rip ped up Harvard’s line and ends for gains until the ball was in the twenty-hve-yard line in front of goal. The Crimson here | held for three downs and Hudson again | s,enned back and deliberately sent the ball through the goal-posts | Cochrane kicked off for Harvard, but after the first rush Carlisle could make no ground, and Miller was called on to | kick. The ball was Harvard’s in mid | field. and Cochrane returned 1t to the three-yard line. Here Miller and Hudson, | instead of taking the leather, let 1t roll L touch, but they waited so long that Coch- rane had time TO get down the field and nut it on side, enabling Hollowell TO fall on 1t at the three-yard line and practically presenting Harvard with touch down. The Indians, however. disputed every inch of the three yards. and so fercely that II took Reid four rushes to get II over. Cochrane kicked the goal. During the remaining time both sides made desperate endeavors to score. In the second half the fight stood abou, even. Harvard, however, showed uI strong and fast at the finish. while the Indians. although fast and strong. showed the effect of their punishment. Dibble and Warren did some effective end running while Boal and Reid used the guards for steady gains. Dibblee finally carried the ball over after his side had worked II down to the three-yard-line. Once Har- ward lost the ball on the five yard line where long run had taken 1t. Carlisle however, came up strong and walked Harvard down the field after recovering the ball on downs, and it was only by the most heroic of efforts that the Indians were eventually stopped on the fifteen. yard line. A puAt by Haughton put the ball out of danger. At the end the bal was in possession of the red men and be- ing rushed by them for steady gains. The lineup: Harvard.
