Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 11.-Although Harvard defeated Bates on Soldiers field this afternoon without difficulty, the visitors had the distinction of crossing the Crimson goal line for the first time this season, the final score being 34 to 6. Bates touchdown was | made by Charles Kendall, who receiv- ed the “ball on a double pass and sprinted 70 yards, during which he threw off both Starr and Wendell, and just crawled over the line as Nesmith tackled him from behind. Bates proved able to gain ground at 1 times on well executed double passes and quarterback runs, for, although | the Harvard line held well, the second ary defense was weak and the ends were often boxed up. | On the other hand the Crimson goal was seldom in danger, while on getting 1 the ball, Harvard ploughed through the Bates line for long runs. The Har- yard team played with more speed and nearly all the players were quick in | taken advantage of their opponent s 1 errors. Fullback Connor of Bates was injur- ed early in the game, but did not re- tire until just before time was called in the second half. The lineup: 1 Harvard Position Bates !
