...association football team lost its first game on Saturday, being defeated 2 to 1 by the Svea team; a Swedish eleven from Prospect Union. A strong west wind, combined with the superior weight and experience of the Svea team were the principle factors in the Freshmen's defeat. Svea's scoring was all done in the first half when the wind was favorable, while the one goal for the Freshmen was tallied by Bates in the second half. In spite of the defeat the performance of the 1917 eleven was quite satisfactory, considering its limited experience and the short time...
...candidates have gone through the season so far without a defeat; and although their strength is unknown a sharp tussle is expected. They will be captained by P. C. Lewis '17, (better known to Hoosier fans as "Duffy" Lewis) who was elected at 12.45 last night, the candidates laying off early for the purpose. The C. C. A. will line up as follows: c.f., Seymour; 2b., Canaday, W. D.; c., Dixon; 3b., Meeker; 1b., Crane; r.f., Reed; s.s., Cook; l.f., Curtis; p., Lewis...
Today at 3.30 o'clock on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, the University association football team will play Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania stands third in the league with two victories and one defeat, while the University leads with two games to its credit, and today's game will affect the University's standing to a large degree since if it should be lost, Harvard will drop to third place in the intercollegiate league. The Pennsylvania team started its season well with a 6 to 3 victory over Yale, but slowly dropped in form, barely defeating Princeton, and losing a close game to Haverford last...

McLaughlin, of the B. A. A., were tied with four victories and one defeat each. It was then decided that the one with the least number of touches against him should be declared winner. There were 16 touches against Von Nardroff, and 18 against McLaughlin...
...dearth of candidates for the University and Freshman track teams is the more unfortunate when the reasons which led to the team's defeat by Yale last year are considered. The main one was Harvard's failure to take a sufficient number of second and third places; that is, the team was not well-balanced. This deficiency seems destined to be the case again this year. But there is a simple remedy--more candidates. In no other sport is it so possible as it is in track to develop mediocre men into fairly good men, by a course of hard...
