HARVARD WON EASILY, 27 TO 5

University Team's Goal-Line Crossed,--Second String Backs Strong.

F. H. Leslie replaced Hann, P. D. Smith took Huntington's place, Gardner was substituted for Potter and Tryon went in for T. H. Frothingham at fullback. Cornell kicked of to Campbell who made a pretty run of 18 yards to his 26-yard line. A penalty put the ball back to the 21-yard line and the backs were unable to overcome this handicap in the next two plays. Felton punted to Bates on the 34-yard line. The latter made 10 yards before O'Flaherty tackled him. The Cornell backs were unable to gain and Butler kicked a low ball to Campbell on Harvard's 17-yard line. Good tackling by the Cornell ends prevented Campbell from rung in more than 7 yards, and it was Harvard's ball on its 25-yard line. Campbell made 10 yards around left end and Tryon six through centre. on the next play Campbell got away for 30 yards to Cornell's 41-yard line, and in two more rushes he made it first down on the 26-yard line. After two small gains by Wendell and Campbell, Gardner tried a forward pass to O'Flaherty, but Miller intercepted it on the 20-yard line. A 15-yard penalty against Cornell placed the ball on the 6-yard to Campbell who ran in 7 yards to Cornell's 34-yard line. Graustein replaced Campbell. After another failure in the line, Felton took a forward pass from Gardner and by clever work reached the 8-yard line. Wendell was thrown for a small loss, but on the next play Gardner repeated the forward pass to Felton, who scored easily. The goal was missed by O'Flaherty. Score--Harvard, 22; Cornell, 0.

With the aid of excellent interference Gardner ran in Butler's kick-off 18 yards to the 37-yards line. Long took Felton's place. Again with help from nearly the whole team, Graustein executed a beautiful run of 27 yards through a broke field to Cornell's 43-yard line. Here Paine replaced O'Flaherty. After Graustein failed to gain through the line, Harvard kicked to Cornell's 5-yard line where Paine downed Butler in his tracks. Butler, on the first play, punted to Gardner who made only 5 yards against the opposing ends to Cornell's 35-yard line. At this point time was called for the third period.

Cornell Scored In Final Period.

Minot replaced Blodgett. By straight line plays Wendell and Graustein advanced the ball with little difficulty to Cornell's 5-yard line where a penalty of 15 yards put Harvard back to the 20-yard line. Wendell had been able to gain 10 yards in two downs when another penalty put the ball back to the 30-yard line. Gardner attempted a forward pass to left end and it was recovered by Long after several fumbles. Another forward pass to Graustein over the centre of the line placed the ball on the 3-yard line. Pierce took Graustein's place, as the latter was slightly hurt after receiving the pass. In two plays Wendell scored another touchdown. Minot missed the goal from the 32-yard line. Score--Harvard, 27; Cornell, 0.

Stow replaced Keays and Parmenter went in for F. H. Leslie. Butler kicked off to Stow who ran in only 5 yards before being downed. A penalty for tripping, however, advanced the ball to the 36-yard line. Here Pierce dropped back for a fake punt. The ball came straight from the centre, but Pierce fumbled, allowing Simson to recover the ball and get to the 1-yard line before he was forced outside. On the next play Simson went through left guard for a touchdown. The goal was missed. Score--Harvard, 27; Cornell, 5.

Several ineffectual line plays and a penalty on Cornell allowed Harvard to advance to the 43-yard line, whence Minot punted to Cornell's 17-yard line. Jowett went in for Long. On the first play Cornell punts to Johnson on its 50-yard line. Johnson ran in 7 yards. A forward pass from Tryon was intercepted by Cornell just as time was called. Final score--Harvard, 27; Cornell, 5.
