Instead of a game with the Manual Training School team, as had been expected, yesterday the Freshmen went through practice in tackling and falling on the ball as usual. After this practice and a short drill in punting the two teams lined up and played a short, fast game. During the tackling practice, Ellis, one of the most promising half-backs, was hurt in the ankle. He had just come out after being laid up for several days on account of an injury to his leg, and it is hoped this second injury will not interfere with his playing...
Brown was beaten by Harvard last Saturday by the score of 18 to 0. Not only was Brown prevented from scoring, but only once did she force the ball into Harvard's territory to any alarming extent, and that through Harvard's carelessness in fumbling the second kick-off.

Harvard, on the other hand, plunged through their line almost at will, and proved herself to be unusually strong on the defense, Brown being...

He is a fast and hard runner, as was clearly demonstrated when he picked up the ball on a fumble and left the whole field behind him for a run of 40 yards to the goal line...
Cabot and Moulton were always in the game. They were down well on punts and followed the ball with great precision. There were one or two occasions, however, when they were greatly at fault in over-running their man. Cabot was used effectively as a ground-gainer, both the first and the last touchdowns being scored...
