Time and again both teams suffered penalties for lille gal tactics, holding, offside and slug ging. Although the fighting was main ly in the open, the officials failed TO put the offenders from the game. Both teams presented weakened line-ups Ostregren and O’Brien being out OF the purple combination, while Brick ley. Bradley and Hitchcock, the Harward stars, all were sidelined because of injuries The Holy Cross team further was weakened on account of the rough playing of its best men, in Guiding Captain Metivier, who was car ried from the field.

On the 9th. er hand, the Crimson found the Holy Cross forwards weak and tore through large holes at will for long gains.

Toward the last of the game, Hardwick, half back. made two runs of 40 and 25 yards each and Coolidge. end, followed by taking well thrown forward pass for a touchdown.

Both teams made frequent Changes In the line up. Three Holy Cross players were so badly used up that they had to be carried from the field.
