West Point Defeated 10-0.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The 'Varsity defeated West Point last Saturday by the score of 10 to 0, in a game which, owing to the extreme heat, taxed the endurance of both teams to the utmost. Doucette and Haughton for Harvard and Munton for West Point, were compelled through exhaustion to retire from the field, in favor of Burden, Warren and Humphrey.

Harvard fumbled badly, yet only once did she lose the ball through her own carelessness. West Point, however, was less lucky. Of five fumbles, four resulted in a loss of the ball when steady gains were advancing it towards Harvard's line. Harvard's play was slow and ragged on the defensive while West Point's was at least snappy and aggressive, though not always effective. With the exception of Sawin's runs of 25 and 30 yards, Dibblee's dodging run of 30 yards and Warren's plunge of 30 yards through centre, West Point's backs proved themselves better ground-gainers than Harvard's. Cabot and Moulton did much toward increasing the material gains of their backs on end plays, by repeatedly boxing the opposing ends. It was on simple end plays, that Harvard practically won the game.

Harvard was held for downs twice and West Point five times, yet the defensive strength of the two teams can hardly be judged from this fact, as the Harvard line, with the exception of the ends, was weak.

The line-up and summary follow:
