Playing its first game of the season, the 150-pound football team succeeded in scoring the only touchdown of the game against a heavy Huntington School team yesterday afternoon at the Huntington field. The lightweight team, in the second year of its existence, managed by its alertness and efficient tackling while on the defense, to keep the schoolboys from making any long gains and from scoring, in spite of the fact that every man on the Harvard team was outweighed by 15 pounds. On the offensive, however, the 150's found it impossible to make any gains through the heavy Huntington line, and it was only when a Huntington line, and kick was blocked and the ball recovered by the speedy end, Crocker, on the one-yard line, that the Harvard quarter-back, Dearborn, was able to put it over for a touchdown. The only other chance for a score failed when Corcoran, playing at left half back, succeeded in eluding the Huntington backs, and ran loose for a 45-yard gain, but then was unable to push through for another first down. Score--Harvard 6, Huntington 0. Touchdown--Dearborn.
