HARVARD, 5; WEST POINT, 0.

Under conditions of weather and field very similar to those of the Amherst game, the University team defeated the West Point team last Saturday at West Point by the score of 5-0. Knowlton scored the touchdown in the first half, after 13 minutes had elapsed, breaking away with the ball from a formation play on West Point's 23 yard line. On a difficult try, Marshall failed to kick the goal.

The score does not begin to indicate the superiority of the University eleven. Both in ground gaining, and in punting, the team covered enough distance to have scored at least three times, but could not seem to work together at critical moments. There was considerable fumbling, part of which was due, no doubt, to a slippery ball and a wet field. Owing to the difficulty of the backs keeping their footing on end plays, but few gains could be made thus and the University eleven was forced, when not punting, to rely upon rushes through the line. Its superiority in weight gave it the advantage over West Point in these line rushes, an advantage which would have been even more decisive had the line played with more than momentary vim. It seemed to be satisfied with mere shoving, instead of following the play through. The slowness of the line was frequently responsible for the failure of the backs to make gains.

The game was largely a punting one. Torney kicked well for West Point, especially in the first half, but on the whole was outclassed by LeMoyne, who got off some very long punts. The latter's punt of nearly 60 yards from Harvard's 11-yard line in the beginning of the second half removed the only serious menace to the University's goal line.

The University team kicked off and downed the ball on West Point's 12-yard line. From there West Point advanced it by short rushes to its own 36-yard line, making three first downs, but here was forced to kick. An offside play on the first attempt cost West Point 10 yards, and then Torney punted the ball out of bounds to the 47-yard line. Hanley made a short gain. Nichols went 8 yards through Riley and Thompson, but in the next play lost the ball on a fumble. West Point was unable to make its distance and attempted to punt, but lost the ball on a bad pass. Marshall's kick was blocked and West Point immediately regained the ball on its 35-yard line. A fumble gave the ball to Le Moyne, who ran it to the 27-yard line. Nichols made two yards, and a formation play with Knowlton back gained four more. In the next play on another tackle-back formation, Knowlton broke through the line and ran 23 yards for a touchdown. Marshall failed to kick the goal. The rest of the half was occupied by little more than a constant interchange of punts, and ended with the ball in the possession of the University team on its own 42-yard line.

West Point kicked off in the second half to Harvard's 22-yard line. Three rushes brought the ball to the 32-yard line. Harvard was penalized 20 yards, and from the 11-yard line Le Moyne punted to West Point's 40-yard line. West Point was then penalized 20 yards and punted, Nichols running the ball in the the 34-yard line; but another fumble gave the ball to West Point. Torney immediately punted. Le Moyne's return punt rolled to the 3-yard line. Torney again punted and Nichols ran the ball in to the 22-yard line, Knowlton made two short gains; and off-side play by West Point advanced the ball to the 10-yard line. But here West Point held for downs on her own 8-yard line. West Point advanced the ball 10 yards and was then forced to punt. Marshall caught the ball on West Point's 45-yard line; but after advancing five yards for off-side play Harvard was again forced to punt. At this point Harvard was penalized 20 yards for holding, and Le Moyne punted the ball 60 yards to West Point's 10-yard line. On the return punt Marshall tried for a fair catch, and was given 15 yards for interference. He missed a goal from placement, however, and West Point returned the ball to its own 47-yard line where time was called.
