  EASY FOR HARVARD Runs Away From Cornell on Soldiers Field, q to 5. MANY SUBSTITUTES USED 1thacans Have Honor of Being First Team to Score Against the Crimson Eleven. CAMBRIDGE. Mass, November s. Harvard crushed Cornell on Soldiers Field with the greatest ease today, but suffered the humiliation of being scored upon for the first time this season. through tumble by Pierce, a substitute back. in the last four minutes Of play. The final score was: Harvard, 27; Cornell. s. The Cornell eleven was smothered al most from the start. four Crimson backs tearing over her goal line, while two held goals added six points to the score. Yet the Ithacans went home tonight with the i’ve big points as satisfying as a victory. Substitutes ran onto the field about called Harvard had played thirty-two men and Cornell had sent twenty four men into the game. The Crimson kept the ball well in Corneus territory. and the visitors were giving up all hopes Of ever sight ing the Harvard goal again. when Pierce made the tumble. 1t was Harvard 8 ball on her 4O-yard line. and the oval went back for punt. The pass was dropped the ball. Capt. Simson picked II up and started for the Harvard goal line. but was pushed out Of bounds on the S-yard line by one of his own men. Harvard could not stop the exultant IthacanS, and on the second rush Nicholas crossed the line for a touchdown. Up to that point the Harvard play was the same powerful, well varied game that has gradually been developed In Cambridge. The backs plunged through big holes or skirted the ends for good gains. Forward passes were carried OF with ease, and two. which were worked in quickest in the third period. brought the third touchdown out OF the game watching Brown defeat Yale The lineup and summary: Harvard Positions.
