The Bessie Tift girls appreciated the
cordiality of boys of-Howard college
(BinaiuigiMua. A$l) .who gave some
rousing yells for the girls while the
train on which \they were traveling
stopped for Bessie^Tjft campus. The

Mary Adel Hays, coloratura sopra
no, assisted by Kathleen Morris,
pianist and accompanist, gave the
first recital of the Lyceum Series et
Bessie Tift. She was particularly ap
pealing in her ingenious rendition of
songs of this genre:
Lawyer Brown (which was dedi
ca|ed to her). La Grometta, and The
with the Delicate Air, calling
forth spontaneous outbursts of en
thusiasm. A word should be said
about- the pleasing quality of her
low tones, especially noticeable in A
Memory by Blair Fairchild, a quality
in a coloratura voice.
Mies Morris gave admirable sup
port to Miss Hays in her accompani
ments, which were highly artistic and
splendidly done. It was a delight to
saMMA-^Sl Uem ' Mto MorrU °P ened

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Harvard
football finesse, weight and
andomnee triumped over Centre Col
lege's' individual gridiron brilliancy
hara In one of the most thrilling and
sensational inter-sectional games play
id in many years. .
Although defeated 31 to 14, the
Danville (Ky.) collegiate* departed
for the South late tonight, with the
praises of the football, experts ringing
in their ears, for they gave a wonder
ful exhibition of the game, consider
ing the handicaps under which a small
eleven, labors in meeting a
team of Harvard’s caliber.
Score Tied ia First Half.
In individual and semiteam play,
during the first half of the contest,
the Centre College combination show
ed 'gameness and football ability
which gained them the support of
thousands of spectators who came to
watch the game without partisan
sympathy or allegiance. The “Pray
ing Colonels,” aa the Southern play
ers are known in their home section,
matched effort for effort with the
Crimson and at the close of the first
two- periods had fought themselves
into an even break with Harvard,
the score standing 14 to 14.
The akertion and suspense of such
grouting battle under strange con
ditions and environment told, how-
in the closing half of the con
flict and the power and finish of the
Harvard team triumphed over the
efforts of Gapt. “Bro”
McMillin and his teammates to turn
the tide of defeat
There was no question in the minds
of the 40,000 spectators, who complet
ely filled every available foot of space
in Harvard’s football amphitheater,
as to which was the better team. It
ras a alow, resolute crushing pro-
reaa which finally developed the
Crimson" team as a winner, but left
ample honors for the hardy South
ernefs, who had. braved one of the
football coaching
and teams in tha entire country in
the latter’s lair and emerged, proud
in demonstrating that the reports of
their previous play were not exagger
ated or without foundation.
Centre Due Much Credit.
Thitvan institution with enroll
ment of about 300 students and
with but one coach to prepare the
football team for the muzzling and
pefected play of a rivaft team with
almost unlimited financial. and in
struction facilities ’ should be able
to match An historic and established
opponent throughout the first thirty
minutes of the play stamps the Cen
tre College eleven as one worthy of
all the praise which has preceded it
Offensively the “Colonels” showed
s game fully equal to that of Har
vard, but jt was Ihe/IiclKjjf a strong
defense that finally diffei
between victor andNanquished.
That the Hazard captain and
coaches realised the really remark
able spirit and play of the Southern
ers was demonstrated by a scene
which took place almost immediately
after the game, when {he teams met
in the Harvard training quarters.;
There Captain Horween of the w\n-
nig eleven went up to Captain Alvin
McMillin and, congratulating him
upon his team and wonderful indi
vidual playing, offered the ball used
in the game as a trophy. McMillin,
dustcovered and well-night exhausted
by his efforts, personally to wrest vic
tory away from the Crimson burest
into tears and refused the ball, with
the remark that “to the victor, be
longs the spoils.”
The Harvard leader endeavored to
persuade McMillin to accept the ball
with the statement: “You deserve it.
You ere the greatest backfield player
I ever saw.”
Centre’s quarterback persisted in
his refusal, however, on the ground
that his team had not won a game
which he said was the best aad clean
est it had ever taken part in and
therefore did not deserve the ball for
i$s trophy case.
Dassliag individual Feats.
The statement of the rival captains
typied what was undoubtely a moat
remarkable game, filled with daazling
individual and team feats whiehh kept
thousand of spectators on edge for
a.most every minute of the play.
Clean, hard football featured the con
test from the opening to the dosing
blast of the refere’s whistle. Long
brilliantly executed forward passas,
spectacular broken field runs, quick
dashes thioogh smartly made holes hi
the line, interperaed punts and field
goald tries lifted the conflict far
above the ordinary gridiron encount
er between the- best of the Eastern
and Middle Western elevens. ,
It was in the fateful, final thirty
minutes that the Crimson machine
really demonstrated its latent and
eowprful attack and defense and
once it was working smoothly Cen
tre’s last chance to win passed away.
McMillin, Weaver, King and Rob
erta all proved their ability to more
than hold their own with the beet of
the home team in forward passing,
broken field running and tackling,
as well as in diagnosing their op-
ponente* play. But theCentre of-
tense had been devoloped far be
yound its tean^Uefense and Suoth.
erners were unable to check the
steady grinding team attack of Har
vard or to follow the ball with the
alertness that marketed the work of
the Crimson.
While Harvard’s attack was ap
parently irresistible from a Centre
standpoint, the Crimson v.-as early in
the game baffled by its opponents
overhead offense and broken field
running. The broader gridiron edu
cation of Harvard, however, enabled
them to solve this puzzle early in the
third period, while Centre- never
found the way to check the mass
drive and concealed ball play that
Harvard developed into almost sea
son-end form in the closing session.
Ceatr# Frays Before Battle.
Centre players had come on the
field after the team’s customery play
ers in the dressing room with . Coach
Moran and President Ganfield, of the
college. Defeat did not imply failure
of their prayer, one of them said after
the contest, the team prays not to
win, but that its members may do
their best.
Play was less than five minutes
under way when Harvard scored its
first touchdown. Owen twisted
through the open defense of Centre,
Churcbwell working with him in open
running co-operation for an advance
that took' the ball from Harvard’s
35-yard line to a touchdown. Owen
carrying .the ball over. A minute
or two later Centre under the drive of
Captain McMillin, tore 70 yards down
the field in a series of forward passes
line plunges killing runs and criss
cross plays to s touchdown by Roberts
Weaver kicked goal, as he did on his-
only subeaquent opportunity.
This came unexpectedly. The se
cond period had barely opened when
a Centre touchdown came. Standing
on hia 32-yard line, MeMiUin received
the ball from centre, feinted to Ms
left, then toeaed it to his right, 30
yards down the field. Whitenell,
substitute back, caught tha hall,
down the field he raced, fending off
two attempting tacldera, evading an
other pair, and croaaing the line with
three men on him.
With tne start of the secont half
the Crimson went out to win. Har
vard, defense rolledback tha Centre
rushes and Centre forced to Rick,
suffered the personalty of a bad boot
when the hall went outside of ita own
30-yard line. A forward pass and a
long run by Churchill preceded a
touchdown by Horween end Centre
from this point was compelled to give
way before the Crimson:
