AMHERST'S ELEVEN WEAK.

Harvard beat Amherst Saturday afternoon by a score of 24 to 0. Not once was Harvard in danger of being scored against, as the Amherst men were weak in every way. They gained more by Harvard's offside play and holding than by their own rushes. Tyler was the only Amherst man who played a strong game, and in the second half he played much better than Stevenson.

The game was free from all objectionable features. The only men who had to stop playing were Whitney of Amherst who strained a ligament in his shoulder; Captain Brewer who hurt his old knee again, and Moulton who strained his ankle.

Holt played best. Every time that a play was on his side of the line there was a large hole for the back. On almost every play he was through the line, and not one of the plays directed against him succeeded.

C. Brewer's running and dodging had a snap and vigor which reminded one of his playing three years ago. His punting, too, was very good.

Jaffray, who played in his first game, did better than was expected. His playing was by no means brilliant, but he stopped the plays on his side fairly well. He did very little breaking through the line, and never broke up the interference as Holt did.

In breaking up the interference some effective work was done by Cabot. Only once while he was playing did he fail to get the man with the ball when the play was directed at him.

Townsend, who took Captain Brewer's place, did very well in his first game. His playing was a little stiff, but was spirited throughout.

Beale failed to get any snap into the playing in the second half, such as Borden got into the first half.

In the second half the playing was slow and in marked contrast with the playing in the first half. The feature was the splendid interference behind which C. Brewer made a beautiful run and touchdown. It was a well formed mass and the four men kept together admirable.

The first touchdown was made in short order, Hayes kicked off. Whitney got the ball and passed it to Downey who made several yards before he was tackled. On the next play Whitney fumbled and Captain Brewer got the ball. Then Gonterman started off well but fumbled and Johnson got the ball. Whitney lost on the next play and Johnson was called on for a punt. He kicked well. Hayes received the ball, but was undecided which way to run, so he was stopped before he had made any advance.

Then Amherst got the ball on account of off-side playing, but on the very first play Harvard again got the ball, which was now on the 20 yard line. Hayes made a good gain of 10 yards through the centre and then carried the ball
