FIRST ELEVEN RUNS THROUGH SCRUBS IN LONG SCRIMMAGE

Harvard's chances for a successful season brightened considerably yesterday when the University eleven swung into action against the seconds and in a grueling two-hour scrimmage completely crushed Coach Knox's charges, rolling up 78 points while the seconds managed to chalk up 20.

The University squad, taking advantage of the cooler weather trampled completely on the seconds, ripping off first downs at will. The aerial attack, which shows promise of becoming one of the real offensive threats this year; again clicked to perfection. Six forwards out of eight attempts were completed along with ten lateral passes. Charles Devens, Mays, and Mason each crossed the goal line twice, while T. W. Gilligan, Harding, Moushegian, Batchelder, White, and Newhardt each scored once. Potter reeled off a 100 yard run but the score was disallowed because of an offside play.

Gilligan Gains on Passes

The University team took the ball on the seconds' 40-yard line and on the second play T. W. Gilligan received a lateral from Putnam and squirmed through the entire seconds outfit for a score After the seconds had received the ball and failed to budge the first team line. Putnam ran Fincke's kick back to the 23 yard line. Here he uncorked a 30 yard forward to Gilligan who worked his way for 20 more yards before being downed. After Gilligan made another first down Charles Devens crashed off tackle for the second score. Putnam's kick was good. Coach Horween here gave the ball to his team on the 30 yard stripe and, after Charles Devens had made 17 by rushing. Potter heaved a beautiful long forward to Harding, subbing for O'Connell, who sped on to the seconds goal line. The pass and run together were good for 53 yards. Putnam again kicked between the uprights.

Starting play again, the seconds, after a penalty, had the ball on the University one yard stripe and after three thrusts at the first team wall, Weymer finally went over. The seconds now took the ball on the first's five yard mark but could not gain. It was here that Potter standing on his own goal line, intercepted a scrub pass and sprinted the length of the field only to be called back.

Mays Brilliant

From here on it was merely a succession of passes, laterals, and runs by the first team, that had the helpless seconds completely bewildered. The Batch-elder-to-Mays lateral pass combination was good for two touchdowns, while White and Newhardt both tore off 50 yard runs for touchdowns, and Mason went over twice on end plays.

The University team will not practice today, the whole squad having been invited by Boston College to see the B. C. Catholic University game at Fenway. Park. Coaches Horween, Dunne, Hubbard, and Farrell, H. W. Clark, Director of Athletics W. J. Bingham and Manager Lage are all going to Dartmouth to see the Green tackle Norwich, while Coaches Casey, Knox, and Kennard are traveling to West Point to scout the Army--B. U. clash.
