First Half. - Tufts had the kick-off, with a slight breeze quartering against them. No real advantage was gained by either side, though there was some brilliant running and kicking. Still, the ball seemed to show some partiality to the region of Tufts' goal. Two touch-downs were claimed by Harvard, but not allowed...
...greatly in their favor. First, Blanchard made a goal from a drop-kick out in the field. Bacon quickly followed this up by a touch-down. From this a goal was successfully kicked by Cushing. After some fine running, and a good deal of scrambling, Blanchard got the ball, and he made the third and last goal by a splendid drop-kick. Soon afterwards a touch-down was made by Bacon.

...height of the foot-ball season approaches. Columbia has been challenged for Nov. 2, Princeton is to be played on Nov. 3, and Yale has been challenged for Nov. 10. The first two of these games will be played on the Hoboken grounds; the last one, here. This evening a complimentary supper is given to McGill at Young's. The supper has been one of the most enjoyable features of Harvard's pleasant meetings with McGill, and we doubt not that this evening's entertainment will be as agreeable as the others have been...
