Exeter, however was superior in weight and general team play. Too much credit cannot be given to the coaches, Mr. Gage and Mr. Reed. Neither side punted at all, and the game was marked almost exclusively by rushes through the line...
Half hearted support is almost as bad as no support at all and many a Harvard team has lost partly because it has had to fight a battle against Yale and part of Harvard. The students here have been altogether too prone to leave the gaining of victories entirely to the teams without feeling that they ought also to have a hand in the matter.

...will be given on Wednesday evening, November 8, at 8 o'clock, in Sever 11, by Prince Serge Wolkonsky, Commissioner of the Russian Imperial Minister of Education to the World's Fair.

Almost every long run of the backs was due rather to a misplay of the opponents than to their own skill. The three touchdowns were the direct result of poor tackling. The weakness of '94's centre was caused by the absence of Lee. Richardson, the substitute, was unable to hold Fox, and this, to a great extent, accounts for the fumbles of Cabot at quarter.
