...understand how the University of Pennsylvania beat Harvard? Leaving out of the question all flings at the referee, which at best are but cowardly utterances as against a man who cannot defend himself, I think I can account for Princeton's decide victory, though not for Harvard's unfortunate defeat. The Pennsylvania team last Saturday were forced to do without two of their very best players, Mitchell, half-back, and Thompson, smapback, whom the Harvard game had completely used up. Those who watched the game here closely will appreciate the extent of this loss, especially as there...
...weakness of Eighty-Eight's representatives, In the Andover men our team will find worthy rivals, for the eleven from that academy has not been beaten by a Harvard freshman team since the fall of 1881, Last year, and the year before, our teams returned with doleful tales of defeat, attributing their ill success to one cause or another, and making vigorous complaints about playing in a "brick-yard," the somewhat harsh tile they gave to the Andover foot ball field.

About thirty men accompanied the Freshman Eleven to Quincy Wednesday to witness the opening game, and saw their men defeat their opponents by the crushing score of sixty-nine to nothing.

The Quincy men were now decidedly...

Her men are working hard and if, as he says, Moffat, their wonderful kicker, who is now a post-graduate, should consent to play, their team would indeed be a strong one, and one which our eleven will have hard work to defeat. His opinion of Yale is clearly partisan. But even he admits that Yale is playing an active game and the large scores which Yale has made in all her games up to date certainly show that her men know how to score, which is the essential in winning games...
...hardly creditable even for men out of practice ; yet two things were clearly demonstrated by the game. The first of these is that the new clubs lately organized in this vicinity are now in a condition to play a creditable game and, though they may be unable to defeat our team when it has begun regular work in the spring, games arranged with them in future will give our men much needed practice and enable them to enter the intercollegiate games much better prepared than they have ever been before. The practice games will fill a long felt need. Yale...
