CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. n.-Much to fhe satisfaction Of coachers and under graduates, the Harvard Varsity eleven showed some improvement to-day and defeated the University Of Maine on Soldiers Field by the score of p TO 0. The creditable playing of Harvard was entirely in the second halfA for the game opened about as poor showing as has been seen this season. The Maine boys, although much lighter IN the line. were able TO hold their opponents for downs and IN rushing the ball were able to get through time and again. Although ground gaining this way was not many yards at a time still it showed the weakness OF Harvard. In the second half numerous changes were made in the crimson eleven and in addition, the players were run ON with a snap which resulted in remarkable Improvement IN the game as whole. 1t was expected that the visitors would not only hold Harvard, but might perhaps score but they were kept on the defensive nearly the entire game. Only one touchdown was scored In the first half In the second, with Daty at quarter, three Harvard men crossed the Maine goal line. Barnard had an on day, missing two out of four goals, which cut down the score.
