Bullpups Tie Freshmen On Doherty's Passing

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 22-Unable to stop the often brilliant passing of Eli quarterback Peter Doherty, Harvard's freshman football team was forced to settle today for a 14-14 tie in a game played before more than 2000 persons here.

The Crimson, appeared to be headed for an easy afternoon when, on the second play from scrimmage, halfback Patrick Conway broke through a loosely guarded off-tackle hole and ran 52 yards for a touchdown.

A bit startled but hardly subdued, the Bullpups immediately displayed some offensive power of their own. On their first play Doherty connected with Bob Kennedy on the Harvard 42-yard line.

Eli team captain Weigel, who cut through the Harvard line for huge hunks of yardage all afternoon, brought the ball to the 30. Doherty overthrew two passes in the end zone, but on third down he turned what looked like a disaster into near triumph for the Elis. Trapped deep behind his own line, he shook off his six tacklers is he plunged his way to the seven-yard line.

Although the Elis supporters screamed for more, Harvard's line finally stiffened, and Yale was forced to relinquish the ball on downs.

Crimson Stops Drives at Ten

Passes from Doherty to Kenney and the rushing of Weigel helped Yale dominate play throughout the rest of the half. Twice more Yale moved deep into Harvard territory, and both times the Crimson line resisted any further motion beyond the on. On both occasions, however, William Vance came off the bench to kick field goals, making the score at the half 7 to 6.

Yale missed a big opportunity to take the lead early in the third quarter when it jumbled the ball on the Harvard six. Eager Harvard linemen rushed through to knock the ball loose on the handoff.

Saved by the bobble, the Yardlings, behind the suddenly inspired running of Bobby Lee and Dick Mechem, moved down the field in big ten-yard bolts. Less than three minutes after they had taken over the ball, they managed to put Conway over on a short plunge for the score. James Babcock made his second conversion of the day.

Yale's final score came soon after this effort. Rolling to his right, Doherty hit Kennedy in the end some with a 16-yard swing pass and repeated the play for a two-point conversion.

After several uninteresting exchanges of the football in the fourth quarter, Doherty seemed to be near another touchdown, but with two minutes left to play. Leo intercepted a pass intended for Kenney and the tie was assured.
