Relying in the main on a very effective passing attack, the Crimson eleven baffled a determined little outfit from Lewiston on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon and emerged from the fray on the long side of a 33-0 score.

Within five minutes after the starting whistle, two Wells-to-Nazro heaves had put Harvard comfortably in the lead and this lead was never in danger throughout the afternoon.

These early passes were by far the most impressive work of the squad during the afternoon although the team showed spark throughout the entire game and shook Lane and Locke loose several times for long runs. The Crimson running attack though brilliant at times was rather inconsistent and the first team succeeded in piercing the Bates line for only 12 yards in the first period. In the waning minutes of the first half, however, they riddled the Bobcats for 174 yards. Most of this yardage was a contribution of the second team, which seemed to outrank the A outfit on the ground. Harvard could not gain regularly through the boys from Lewiston, and Coach Casey will probably concentrate on running plays this week. On the offense Bates tacklers often sifted through the Harvard line and nabbed the runners from behind, but the Bobcats could make little impression on the Crimson forward wall. Defensively, except against the old jinx--forward passes--the Harvard team looked unusually good for an opening game.
