Things were now looking very black for Harvard, but Swift got the ball and made a run; after this the ball was kept near the middle of the field, till finally Holmes made a fine run, by which he nearly gained a touch...

Harrington of Tufts kept up his well-earned reputation until he was disabled, and although he pluckily kept to his work, Tufts felt his loss and the ball stuck closer to their side.
