...forward pass. In two plays, Stuart and Kennedy gained 45 yards and put the ball in Harvard's territory, where it stayed for the rest of the half. Glaze tried a goal from placement from the 30-yard line, but missed it by a small margin. Towards the close of the half, Ingersoll and Marks rushed the ball to Harvard's 2-yard line, where they were held for downs...
...expect our team to gradually disillusionize them this afternoon. For several weeks the University team has failed to display the playing of which it is capable. We have the coaches and the players who can produce a strong team, and now that the season is drawing to a close we look to them to demonstrate to the skeptics that they can play as well from the start as when the score stands against them. Needless to say, today's games, although not conclusive, will furnish the prophetically inclined with advance information on the Yale game. We can only hope that...
...race started from the Yale athletic field and ran for five miles through fields and over dirt and macadam roads. A mile and a half from the finish two Harvard and four Yale men were closely bunched. As the men came on to the track for the last quarter, Vilas led by 40 yards; Spitzer followed 20 yards behind; and Raynolds, with Crosby close behind him, was next with an interval of 20 yards.

...general, much better than the rest, and most of them would be more appropriate for football songs if only the choruses were used.

"The Spirit of Harvard" has a good set of words and a spirited close: while the "Harvard Love Song" has a good chorus and high musical quality. "We're Harvard Men," set to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne," has a great deal...
...score of 3-6, 6-4, 9-7, thus deciding the contest and making the match between C. C. Pell '08 and E. M. Pickman '08 and W. B. Fraser-Campbell '11 and A. Sweetser '11 unnecessary. The second half of the match, which was played today, was close and fast. The two Burts took Walker and Whiting by surprise at the start, but in the last set the latter two steadied down and gave them a hard fight...
