Harvard won the second game of the foot ball season Saturday afternoon, defeating Dartmouth by a score of 43 to 0. The game abounded in brilliant plays, and was one of the prettiest contests which will be seen on Jarvis field this year. Both elevens were inclined to play roughly, each having a man disqualified for slugging; some of the Harvard rushers, too exhibited he same tendency to play off-side, which proved so costly in the Exeter game. These faults are not unnatural at the beginning of the season, however, and doubtless will disappear as the men play longer...
...game began at 3.17 o'clock with Dartmouth in possession of the ball. The V which was formed enabled Allen to carry the ball ahead 12 yards before he was stopped. The Dartmouth backs were unable to make any impression upon Harvard's line, however, and the ball was lost on four downs. Lake carried it ahead some for Harvard, and then Corbett, by two excellent rushes, got it down near Dartmouth's line The ball was then given to Lee, but Scruton got through and stopped him, with considerable loss to Harvard. With the ball at the 30-yard...
...Dartmouth failed to gain on the first rush, but the next time Norton carried the ball well into Harvard's territory by a pretty run of 35 yards.

Lake made a very pretty run of 30 yards, and then another of 25 yards, the fine blocking of Cumrock aiding him materially. Corbett then took the ball, and deposited it on the other side of Dartmouth's line; Trafford kicked the goal. Score...
...Dartmouth began well when the ball was put in play, Norton carrying it some distance into the Harvard territory; he could not keep it up, however, and the ball came to Harvard on four downs. The ball was given to Corbett, but he was almost immediately tackled; he succeeded in passing the ball to Trofford, however, and he carried it ahead 20 yards. Lee then made a good dodging run around the end and gained a great deal of ground. He was hurt when tackled, but resumed his place after a short rest. Short rushes by Lake and Corbett carried...
