...practice game Saturday by a score of 18 to 1. The Dorchester seven last year held the championship of New England, but on Saturday was not in its usual form. Neither side showed developed team work, and the scoring was almost entirely the result of individual effort. Two halves of twenty minutes each were played, and Harvard's showing, though not brilliant, was steady throughout.

The tackling was poor, and the quick playing and good team work which were so encouraging at the last practice were almost entirely lacking, and the men seemed to depend wholly on individual effort. The second eleven's winning score was made on a drop kick by Wheeler from the 25 yard line after his long run from the other end of the field...
