...showed good team play, considering the short time it has been practicing, but it could not gain through Milton's line, and was too slow to make long end runs possible. Evarts made the only substantial gain for the Juniors, running a punt back 45 yards. The Milton team, although largely composed of second-team men, played a hard game, but was not able to gain consistently on account of fumbling. It made its best gains by well-executed forward passes from R. Wigglesworth to Pratt. Milton's goal was threatened only once, after Evart's long...
Harvard started the game with a new man, Browne, at left end, and, although Mayhew made several long runs around his end, Browne acquitted himself well.

Lastly, the average cost of board is increased by men who are willing to obtain at any price the delicacies which appeal to them most on the menu...
...field every time, and Roosevelt especially did some excellent tackling and followed the ball well. Browne was tried out at end on the University team. He played a strong game and may be developed into a good end. Apollonio was the mainstay of the first team's offense, and, although seldom called upon, never failed to make substantial gains in line plunges...
