  .ARL|sLE LOSES IN EVEN BAT Tie Harvard Wins from Indians, but by Narrow Margin of One s-~ Touchdown. Fullback Wendel’s Fifty-six-yard Run Saves the Crimson from = Tie Game. Journal Special Service. Cambridge, Mass, Nov. lo.-Harvard won out in its football game with Car Isle this afternoon by the skin Of its teeth. The crimson eleven scored one touchdown in the middle of the second half and failed to kick the goal, max ing the score 5 to 0. -, 1t was most exciting game, devoted almost entirely to punting and gave. many opportunities for fumbling and tacNing. The Indians had it on Harvard in the tackling. The red men s 81 ;, thru the Harvard line and hammer and the grip of a vice. They did not leave it to one man to nail the catcher, on punt; two or three dove into him. In punting, Mount Pleasant was the nearest to equaling Burr in the kick ing game that Harvard has met this year. On number Of exchanges the Indians came out even. It was a great game under the new rules, but Harvard came out on top In the new stunts. Forward passes and on-side kicks gained at critical moments. Starr, the quarterback, made over to an end, was great on these plays. He was the bright particular surprising that the Indians did not use forward passes. Still, they opened the game by kicking and followed this up by double and triple pass. In these plays their speed was their greatest asset. There were but few long runs in scrimmages. Wendell s run of ffty-si yards stood out almost alone. The best part Of this gain was that it made possible touchdown after Harvard had twice been repulsed with in striking distance. The first time the Indians held for downs on the 16yard line. The second opportunity was lost when Med Donald was off side on the 20-yard line after Howard had carried the ball thirty yards down the field The touchdown came as follows: Starr caught punt on Harvard s A. yard line and on the first rush Wen dell made his run, landing the ball on the lS-yard line. Interference with the center gave Harvard five yards, and then fine plays by Wendell carried the ball over the line in the corner Of the field. Newhall made pretty punt out to Starr on the l6-yard line, but the latter failed to kick the goal. Wen dell, NeWhall, Kersburg and Burr were the stars for Harvard, while Exendine, Gardiner, Libby and Billion shone for Carlisle. -. -
