The Harvard football team shatter- ed the championship aspirations of the Cornell eleven Saturday afternoon when it routed the big Red combina- tion from Ithaca by a score of 23 to 0. Neither team has yet reached the height of its gridiron form. but as they faced each other in the Stadium today, Harvard was as far superior to Cornell as the score indicates. The Crimson eleven outplayed and outgeneralled the team from tho shores of Lake Cayuga and the Itha- cans completed their own downfall by an exhibition of cratic football that stunned their adherents, who had laid many wagers at odds of five to victory of year ago. Once the ban was in Harvard’s pos session the Crimson sprang a sur prise. The backfield lining up with Cornell formations, preceded to reel off plays such as Cornell undoubtedly expected to launch against the Grim son. This appeared to upset the Red and White, for they found 1t hard to diag- nose or check the Harvard advance. The entire play during the first per- fod was in Cornell territory and al though the net result of the attack was three Harvard points scored through field goal by Robinson, the embryo eleven from Ithaca lost con- fidence in its power and aside from occasional flashes of it’s potential strength. never appeared in the light of a possible victor. The game while hard fought, was remarkably free from infractions of the rules but three five yard penal ties being imposed during the sixty minutes of play. Captain Dadmun. the Right End Harte of the Harvard team will be out of the play for a week at least as the result of injuries, but other casualties were confined to the usual bruises.

The crimson eleven outplayed and outgeneraled the team from the shores of Lake Cayuga, and the Itnacans completed their own down fan by an exhibition of cratic foot bah that summed their adherents. who had laid many wasers at odds of live to four that Cornell would dupli- cate the victory of year ago. To- night Harvard supporters are hailing Coach Haughton as the miracle man Of yore. The Cornell players fumbled and tackled like novices and there was no cohesion or drive in their attack. For ward passes and field goal were responsible for a portion of the crim- son score. Cornell was not success frl in any attempts at a real play The game was remarkably free from infrineements of the rules, except three five-yard penalties being i’m posed during the sixty minutes of play.
