HARVARD, 11; AMHERST, 0.

The University eleven defeated Amherst yesterday by the score of 11 to 0 in a game which showed general improvement in the work of the team. The linemen played with more snap than previously and charged quickly, but did not throw their opponents back far enough. For the first time this year the interference worked smoothly and effectively.

In the first half the team showed considerable weakness in failing to score. The cause of this was fumbling and the slowness of the backs in starting. In the second half, however, the backs started quickly, followed the interference closely, and kept their feet, playing with a snap and dash that resulted in two touchdowns. There was no fumbling in the second half, and the plays worked smoothly.

Ristine, Devens and Kernan played a fast and spirited game, starting quickly and running well. Baldwin ran back kicks for good gains, got into the interference quickly, and used good judgment in directing plays. Sargent made several poor passes.
