Harvard defeated Dartmouth on Saturday in the second game of the season by a score of 36 to 0. The points won were evenly divided in the first and second halves; three touchdowns and goals were made in each. The 'varsity was barely prevented from scoring another touchdown in the first half. The ball was being pushed rapidly down toward Dartmouth's goal and had reached the one yard line when time was called.

The visiting team played a hard, plucky game, but at no time was Harvard's goal in danger. Their only gains were made in the second half, when Acton was replaced by Parker. Dartmouth soon found that the change had weakened Harvard, and proceeded to buck the line at left guard. Four times they succeeded in making their distance. Parker's inefficiency was owing to his failure to break through his opponent. Apparently he made little effort to tackle the runner until the latter had reached the line of the down. E. Jones played well for Dartmouth. He was unfortunate enough, however, to wrench his knee severely and forced to leave the game. Stone was substituted for him. Little, Folsom, Pollard, Dodge and Smalley also deserve mention for the good work they did.

Harvard's defensive game was unusually strong in the first half. Outside of the opening plays Dartmouth did not average five yards of gains. Every man in the line played his position finely, and Newell and Manahan were particularly effective. Some of Newell's tackles were in a way phenomenal. The interference, however, was not steady or always effective. The backs did not keep well together and left big openings for the Dartmouth tacklers. Occasionally there was a brilliant exception to this, as in the case of Clarke's pretty run of 35 yards, and Gray's remarkable rush of considerably more than half the field. Dunlop, however, made his touchdown after a run of 25 yards, almost entirely by individual work.

Fairchild's passing was much at fault. It was not quick or accurate. His pass to Corbett after being tackled was a dangerous and unwise play. Dunlop made a poor attempt to drop on the ball in the beginning of the game when Dartmouth dropped the ball and it rolled towards Harvard's goal. His slowness then was almost inexcusable. There was also an occasional fumble and misunderstanding of signals which reflected little credit on Harvard's work. On the whole, however, the game contained much that was very encouraging.

Waters made two touchdowns, Clarke two, and Dunlop and Gray one each. Fairchild and Corbett each kicked three goals.
