The football team defeated Williams yesterday on Soldiers Field by a score of 12 to 0. The game was very loosely played on Harvard's part, especially in the second half, when the team not only failed to score, but allowed Williams to gain repeatedly. Even in the first half, with the full first eleven in the field, the attack was far from satisfactory. This small score, however, was due not entirely to poor playing but partly to two failures at goal from the field by Captain Daly.

The regular team, which played in the first half, showed a decided improvement in line-bucking, but the end running was a complete failure. Not a single gain was made around either end, as the interference was never allowed to form. The substitute team in the second half played very poorly. The line was constantly over anxious, losing 30 yards on off-side play, and had no stability in either attack or defense. The backs, handicapped by the weakness of the line, had little chance to gain, and lost what opportunities they did have by slow starting.

Of all the men who played there were only five whose work was even satisfactory. E. Kendall did some excellent line plunging, making the first touchdown on a forty yard run after breaking through the line. He also made the second touchdown possible by a series of bucks which netted thirty yards. His punts were high and several of them were fairly long. Clark at right end filled his position well, stopping all the plays around his end and getting down quickly under punts. J. Lawrence, Barnard and Lee opened good holes in the opposing line and were fairly aggressive on the defense. Graydon and I. Kendall were valuable in line plays, but were slow in starting, and Graydon was several times uncertain about the signals. In the second half, Hollingsworth and R. Lawrence were continually off-side, and allowed Williams to gain twenty or thirty yards on revolving tackle plays. Whitwell was also over anxious, but was stronger on the defense.

After Williams had returned the kick-off to the middle of the field Harvard began an attack on the Williams line and on the third play, E. Kendall broke through a hole at right tackle and ran forty yards for a touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked the goal. Daly returned the kick-off to Williams' forty-five-yard line, and after Harvard had regained the ball on downs, he tried a drop-kick goal from the field which was blocked. Two minutes later, Harvard secured the ball at the same place, and Daly made a second unsuccessful attempt at a goal. Harvard then began another attack on the Williams line. E. Kendall and Graydon carried the ball fifty yards on short plunges, and I. Kendall made the touchdown from the one-yard line. The half ended soon after the next kick-off.

At the start of the second half Williams held Harvard in the middle of the field and took the ball on downs. Then Williams was given five and ten yards on offside plays by Hollingsworth and Whitwell, and after an exchange of punts Harvard was again penalized for the same offense. Hatch and Lawrence gained fifteen yards on short plunges through the tackles, but Harvard soon took the ball on downs and Sawin punted. Williams was renewing the attack on the line when time was called.
