Harvard, 30; Amherst, 0.

The game yesterday brought another serious loss to the eleven. Dunlop was playing halfback, and on a run around the end he was thrown violently and broke his collar bone. The accident was not at first thought to be serious, but it will probably prevent him from playing any more this year.

It was almost entirely a substitute team that represented Harvard yesterday afternoon, and the game was won more through Amherst's weakness than through any strong playing on Harvard's part. The score was 30 to 0.

The Harvard eleven played for the most part a miserable game, but occasionally a good tackle or a bit of fair interference would crop out. The men seemed to lack entirely any spirit of aggressiveness, and it was rarely that the backs showed anything like interference. The only redeeming feature of their general work was the first class game they put up on the defence. Only twice could the Amherst team make its distance.

Amherst was light and weak at every point. They had no interference, and their defensive play was very poor. Captain Pratt, Rosa and Caruthers were the only men to do anything like brilliant work.

Harvard's line was very erratic. Moulton was a disappointment on the end. Amherst's only substantial gains were past him, and he missed his tackle repeatedly. Wheeler showed a great improvement in his work at tackle, and yesterday played the position in great form. He was a little careless at times, but he tackled well and got into every play. The centre men were strong on the defensive and once in a while opened up a good hole for the backs.

Of the backs, Hayes easily carried off the honors. His running was hard and he proved the best ground gainer. In the latter part of the game Hamlen did some clever running and long punting. Wrenn and Borden were both tried at quarterback, but neither was a brilliant success. Their passing was marked by numerous fumbles, but they played with a good deal of dash and snap.

The game was stopped frequently on account of injuries to players. More kicking was done than in any game this year, and fumbles and muffed punts were the result. It took Harvard 10 minutes to score. Dunlop was forced to kick, but the punt was missed and Norton Shaw fell on the ball, giving it to Harvard again at the 20 yard line. Brown carried it 12 yards round the left end, and Hayes plunged through the centre for a touchdown. Brown kicked the goal, making the score 6 to 0.

Hayes received the kick-off and carried the ball 15 yards before he was downed. Short, steady rushes at the line took the ball down the field, and Dunlop scored the second touchdown. The goal made the score 12 to 0.

Amherst got the ball on downs at the middle of the field, and Johnston made Amherst's longest run of the day, - 20 yards round the right. But they soon lost the ball, and Harvard started it down the field again. After losing and regaining it several times, Hamlen finally went across for a touchdown, one minute before time was called. Brown kicked the goal and the half closed, 18 to 0.

Half the second half went by with the ball near the centre of the field all the time. Finally Harvard braced up and started steadily down the field, until Hamlen scored the fourth touchdown. The goal made the score 24 to 0.

The closing play of the game was the star feature of the afternoon. Hamlen sent a long, low punt down the field which Pratt failed to catch. Just as he muffed it Whittren took it on the line. Hamlen's goal made the final score 30 to 0.

Ninety-Six, 22; C. H. and L., 4.The junior eleven defeated the Cambridge High and Latin School eleven yesterday by a score of 22 to 4.

Both teams played a good aggressive, but a poor defensive game. The interference of the Ninety-six team was a great improvement over that shown at Groton. The only touchdown made by the High School team was gained by repeated rushes through Ninety-six's centre.

Yale, 34; Dartmoth, 0.[N. E. Associated Press.]

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Oct. 17. - The Yale football team defeated the Dartmouth eleven on Hampden Park today, 34 to 0, in a fairly interesting game.

The Dartmouth line held Yale well and the gains were made round the ends. Mill's 60 yard run, and a 10 yard run by DeWitt gave Yale a touchdown after eight minutes of play. After one more touchdown had been made, Thorne kicked a goal from the field, and just before the end of the half scored another touchdown, making the score 21 to 0.

In the second half three scores were made, the first being a drop kick by Thorne, the second a safety by Folsom, and the third a touchdown by DeWitt. Dartmouth never had the ball nearer Yale's goal than the 30 yard line.
