The Crimson Puts Up a Good Game Except for Fumbling. a but the 40 by to er at by defeated well but at the men features were aftering well the of tape. some The 3:14. the and 2:51. " Blue mile Blue by J. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 5.--Harvard's football team went down few Quints today and the enthusiasm of ties supporters also took a fall. The Crimson did not ran up the big score that they were locking for on Soldiers' Field this afternoon, and what is still worse, they did not keep Bates from scoring a touchdown. The score was 16 to 6. Bates came down in the expectation of getting a good sound drubbing, and they went back with six points. But the score was in the nature of a fluke.- In the very last minute of play on Harvard's 25-yard line, Swann, the Crimson left halfback, fumbled, Black, right end on Bates, got the ball and with one man for interTerence carried the ball over. But Harvard's playing was not so poor if all the many fumbles could be left out of the reckoning: it was fumbling that gave Bates her touchdown, and it was fumbling alone that prevented two other touchdowns for Harvard. Her backs playing a good rushing game, and gained through the Bates line will. FOUGHT PENNSYLVANIA HARD. State College Puts Up a Pretty Game at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-In one of the prettiest games ever seen on Franklin Field the State College went down to defeat today before old Pennsylvania by the score of 22 to 6. Pennsylvania was scored upon and in no flukey manner, but the red and blue supporters went home happy, as they had seen their team take the ball twice the length of the field by the fastest kind of team play. Pennsylvania went into the game with snap and tandem plays were worked well. State scored by carrying the ball half the length of the field, throwing Pennsylvania's tackles back. State scored in the first half just after Pennsylvania had scored a touchdown. While her team lasted State played a fast game, but the effort of making the touchdown seemed to take some of her life and she was unable to keep up the pace set by Pennsylvania. WEEKS BACK IN HIS PLACE. Columbia Defeats Williams College at the Polo Grounds. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Harold Weeks, the star half back of the Columbia football team, resumed his place today, and his individual playing had much to do with the victory the Blue and White over the Williams College eleven at the Polo Grounds. After a close match Columbia won by 5 to 2, Weeks making the only touchdown of the game. Weeks had been under the faculty ban for being behind in his studies, and he worked off his conditions this morning. Columbia, after having kept Williams on the defensive in the first half, was in turn kept on the defensive in the second. The visiting collegians became more aggressive in the second half, in which the play was practically all in Columbia territory. The local team's goal was in danger several times owing to the determined attacks of the Williams backs. The visitors were strong in the centre of the line, but their ends, especially the left, were vulnerable spots for Columbia. The latter's back field played excellent football and the ends did valorous work. The rest of the line was not so reliable. YALE SHOWS IMPROVEMENT. Morris Misses a Punt and Tufts Scores a Touchdown. NEW HAVEN, Oct. 5.-For the first time this season Yale has been scored against, and that by a team against which she was able to pile up five touchdowns and carry away a final score of 29 to 5. The touchdown was not because of better playing on the part of Tufts, but because Yale's substitute quarterback, Morris, captain of the third team, missed a punt which he had in his hands and before he could recover himself Chapman, Tuft's left tackle, had grabbed the ball and made a 30-yard run for a touchdown. Yale showed great improvement in her work. More snap was given the individual plays, and the backs hit the line hard and accurately. The interference was, as a whole, made up better and the backs followed in most every play. Yale's goal was in danger only once, and that was in the second half, when Hamlin, who had been put in at centre, threw the bail over Vanderpoel's head, and when Vanderpoel finally fell on it the ball was on Yale's 10-vard line. A number of times Tufts held Eli, but only two or three times did Tufts succeed in breaking through for gains. THE SOLDIERS' FIRST GAME. West Point Defeats Franklin and Marshall, 20 to 0.
