Cambridge, Oct. 31-Harve ard defented Michigan 7 to 0 here today in a football game almost void of spectacular play and confined to conservative attack and defense, Twenty-five thousand spectators witneaged sixty minutes of -fought scrimmage in which straight predominated throughout.

The eral advance was achieved ries of line plunges and an occasional end run. Harvard showed to better advantage than Westerners, displaying stronger defence and striking with savage rapidity and skill in the second period when the solitary score of the game was made. Both elevens appeared to possess a stronger attack than defense, although the Crimson line and secondary defence held like stone wall when the Wolverines twice penetrated to Harvard's last five yard line. No Open Attack. A disquieting feature from the spectators standpoint was the absence of the thrilling open attack it was thought Yost would uncover.

Michigan attempted only one torward pass and this was Intercepted. As if further to upset the ante game forecasts, the Crimson used four, 01 which three were successfully carried through. Michigan used a rushing line of attack. The campaign worked well between the 20-yard lines, but it lacked the scoring punch once the team had carried the ball within the shadow of the Crimson goal. Harvard twice held Michigan on or inside her five yard line.

Harvard forced a touchdown and the resultant goal in the second period. Obtaining the ball at mid-field on a Michigan punt, Harvard opened the scoring advance with a series of line plunges and end runs, piercing the Wolverines line for consistent gains. Michigan's thirty yard line the Western eleven held for two downs Temporarily checked, Quarterback Logan called for a forward pass, which, perfectly executed, put the ball on the visitors' 19-yard line. Again Harvard went to line bucking and by cleverly mixing covered and delayed passes made the scoring of the touchdown and goal comparatively easy. With a seven point advantage the Harvard team played a defensive game during a majority of the remaining periods.

Harvard in Finer Points. It was in the finer points of team play that Michigan lost, for, player for player, the Ann Arbor eleven was fully equal physically to the Cambridge combination. Collectively, however, they failed to move with the same cohesion and smoothness. Statistical figures show that while Michigan made ten first downs to Harvard's eight, the Crimson gained 188 yards by rushing to the Wolverines 164. Harvard gained 24 yards with four forward passes while Michigan's single attempt caused a loss of the ball.

In penalties the Ann Arbor team lost 80 yards to Harvard's 20. The victors also punted, the ball 430 yards to the losers yards and ran the ball back to punts 20 yards to five. Individually, the Michigan players earned unstinted praise boy their clean, hard and brilliant work. The best of thep layers all through the game good feeling was evidenced bot between which, although extremely hard fought, was filled with good sportsmanship. The Line- Up.

NO LAURELS FOR CHICAGO. Madison, Oct. -For the first time in two years, Chicago's football team today left a gridiron without the laurels of victory. In a game that was straight football nearly all the way, Wisconsin held the Maroons to a pointless draw. A dozen forward passes were tried by both teams, but nearly all miscarried.

Tenny, Van Brocklin, Riddick and the two ends were towers of strength on both offensive and defensive playing. while Townsend was a good ground gainer during his short stay in the game. Miles. the fast quarterback, Bloodgett Failing were the stars for the Navy team, although broken field running in returning kickoffs enabled Navy to place the ball within striking disI tance for both touchdows.

Navy's use of the forward pass was poor to that of visitors, due probably to the interception powers of A. and M. secondary defense. A. and M.

Recovers. The game started with Navy kicking off to A. and Selfert returning the ball to his own 20-yard fore downed.

and M. 7: Navy 0. After the kickoff Tenney, Riddick and Van Brocklin rushed the ball for two first downs and Tenney then punted over Navy's goal line. A series of line plunges netted but little and an exchange of punts and penalties to A. and M.

gave the bail to Navy In midfield. Miles then uncorked a good yard run. Bloodgett and Miles then carried it 16 yards in two rushes and offside play by and M. natted 5 more yards. Bloodgett gained 8 vards and landed the ball inside of A.

and 6 yard line. Successive plunges by H. Harrison Bloodgett covered the distance, Harrison scoring the touchdown. Bloodgett kicked goal. and M.
