Boston, November e.--(Special.) )-Stung by the Indians! That was the situation this afternoon when Harvard was beaten to a frazzle by the score of 29 to 15. A crowd of 3o,OOo persons witnessed the |game. The significance of the Indians |score is very evident as 1t was the Indian |sign with a vengeance.
