...Daly returned the kick-off to Williams' forty-five-yard line, and after Harvard had regained the ball on downs, he tried a drop-kick goal from the field which was blocked. Two minutes later, Harvard secured the ball at the same place, and Daly made a second unsuccessful attempt at a goal. Harvard then began another attack on the Williams line. E. Kendall and Graydon carried the ball fifty yards on short plunges, and I. Kendall made the touchdown from the one-yard line. The half ended soon after the next kick...
Although the work of the first eleven yesterday afternoon was slightly improved, serious injuries to Hallowell and Howe checked the satisfaction caused by the encouraging practice. Hallowell sprained his left ankle in the first half, when blocking Daly's attempt at a goal from the field. As he will not be able to play for about three weeks, he will be kept out of all the early games and possibly the one with Pennsylvania. A few minutes after Hallowell was taken from the field, C. H. Howe '04, centre on the third team, broke a bone in his right...

The first was matched against the second, and later against the third; while the second eleven played the fourth. There was no attempt at actual scoring, the ball being given first to one team and then to the other. J. L. Knox '98 acted referee and W. D. Eaton '02 as umpire. Dibble was assisted in coaching by B. G. Waters '95 and W. H. Lewis...
...Wendell's hit. Not another man on either side reached third. Harvard had another good chance to score in the seventh. Fincke reached first on an error but was caught trying to steal second. Clark hit to right field for two bases but was put out on an attempt to make three. Coolidge and Milne singled but Stillman went...
