A swift Middlesex team administered an overwhelming defeat to the Harvard 150-pounders by a score of 45-0 yesterday afternoon at Concord. The schoolboys, with two weeks of steady practice behind them, due to the quarantine, executed so perfectly a series of fast, tricky plays during the whole game, that the Harvard team was completely outplayed at every turn.
A fumble by the Harvard halfback on the kickoff recovered by Middlesex, led to the first Middlesex touchdown within 40 seconds of play. From then on, during the first quarter, the Middlesex team made the most of their smooth running criss-cross plays, and Jackson, playing at fullback tallied another touchdown. In the second quarter one of the many lateral passes which the schoolboys had perfected was received by Jackson, and he tore loose from several would-be tacklers and ran down the field for another touchdown.
In the middle of the game, the Middlesex first string men were relieved by practically the whole of team B, which Harvard managed to hold score-less, but as soon as the team A men were restored, the Middlesex scoring commenced again.
The summary of the game was: Harvard 0, Middlesex 45. Touchdowns--Simmons, Jackson 2, Nacay 3, Miner 2. Points after touchdown--Jackson 2.
