...score of 12 to 0. The game was very loosely played on Harvard's part, especially in the second half, when the team not only failed to score, but allowed Williams to gain repeatedly. Even in the first half, with the full first eleven in the field, the attack was far from satisfactory. This small score, however, was due not entirely to poor playing but partly to two failures at goal from the field by Captain Daly...

Hatch and Lawrence gained fifteen yards on short plunges through the tackles, but Harvard soon took the ball on downs and Sawin punted.

"The new product, the educated man of today, is in some measure the necessity of the time. The demands of a special calling require preparation so early and so long that the all-round man--that invaluable species which...
