The Indians repeated the tactics they employed against Yale last Saturday by at once rushing the ball down the field 20 the 2j-yard line. and then making their try for a goal from the field. In the first attempt Hudson failed, but the second time the ball sailed across the cross-bar, with five yards TO spare. INDIAN LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Then the Indians showed their lack Of | knowledge Of the game, and allowed | COchrane. after a kick, 20 put the Harward team on sde and Hallowell fell | on the ball within five yards of the goal | posts. Three rushes were necessary. how | ever before Reid went over for the | first touchdown. In the second half, long runs by Dibblee scored another, | and what proved 10 be the last, touch | down for Harvard. The game was one Of the best seen in | Cambridge this year, for the Indians | gave the Harvard team the hard Work ! that they needed, and showed up the weak points in the crimson line in a manner that was anything but assuring as to the outcome of the Pennsylvania game next Saturday. CORNELL MADE TO HUSTLE. ITHACA, n. Y, October 29.-The Cor nell Varsity team was forced 10 play its hardest at Percy Field to-day by a strong eleven from Ooerlin.

Quarterback Young, however was equal to the occasion, and brought him down within ten yards Of his goal line. Corners interference was loose, and Captain Whiting was unable TO get around ends for this reason. -Four places ON the team were filed by substitutes and it was due TO this fact that Cornell made poor showing. The visitors made AM their gains on double passes and trick plays. GEORGIA, 4; VANDERBILT, o. ATLANTA GA, October 29.-The Uni versity Of Georgia defeated the Wander hnt University football team by score Of to 0.
