...Springfield Saturday the Yale Gun Club defeated the Harvard Shooting Club 115 to 101. All of our men with the exception of Captain Gould fell below their usual average. Burrell of Yale was the only man to make a clean string of fifteen birds straight. The Keystone rules governed the match, and the Keystone birds were used. The referee was E. M. Youmans, Yale...
...closely locked Yale wedge started with a rush into Harvard's territory. It gained the five yards to the middle of the field and then began to break up. Emmons, Harvard's left end, darted in the side and got a good grip on Heffelfinger, who fell in the midst of the struggling mass of players. Yale's first play was over and she had but two yards to her credit...

Notwithstanding the occasional lapses, the general play showed increased strength in interference. Mackie did especially good work at right guard, breaking through well and interfering effectively. Newell also played well, as usual, and Emmons and Hallowell both got down on the ball well, though they showed their old tendency to over run their man on a kick. Dexter did not play, nor did Vail, Highlands filling the place at left...
