What promised to be a very exciting contest yesterday turned out to be one of the poorest exhibitions of football seen on Soldiers Field this season. Several of the regular 'varsity men had been over-trained and were obliged to rest, so that the team was made up largely of substitutes. In view of this fact, the management had tried to cancel the game, but the Brown men were unwilling to give it up.

The first half was only twenty minutes long, and Harvard failed to make any score. The playing of the team, as a whole, was loose and weak, but Doucette at centre and Beale at quarterback did very good individual work, and kept their positions during the entire game. Manahan was tried at right guard without much success, and Foster at right end proved too light for his position. Gonterman at fullback made a few good rushes, but failed to follow his interference except on round the end plays.

In the second half, Brewer and Whittemore took the places of Fairchild and Gonterman back of the line, and Waters went in at right tackle. The result was remarkable. Whittemore caught the kick-off and ran twenty-five yards, while Brewer on the next play went around Matterson's end for twenty-five yards more. Then came a short gain through the line, and a touchdown was scored in one minute and nineteen seconds by Hayes's rush of thirty-five yards between left end and tackle. Brewer kicked the goal. He had been playing but a minute more when he hurt his elbow in a scrimmage and had to give place to Dunlop.

The second touchdown was also made by Hayes after an interchange of punts and runs by Whittemore and Dunlop. Waters kicked the goal. Brown's kick-off went out of bounds twice, so she lost the ball. Harvard's kick-off carried it to the ten yard line, where Cabot got it on a fumble. Two five yard rushes by Dunlop and Hayes made the last touchdown, from which Waters again kicked the goal. On account of darkness, the half lasted only thirteen minutes.
