...very close during the first "three-quarters," '82 getting one touch-down through good passing and a fine rush by Crehore. In the next "three-quarters," Crehore and Manning each secured two touch-downs; and from one of them a goal was kicked. Sedgwick kicked a goal from the field, thus making the score two goals and four touch-downs for '82, to nothing for Andover. The playing of Crehore, Manning, Sedgwick, and Williams for '82 was good, and the team as a whole played in much better form than at Quincy...
Game was called a little after 2.30, Harvard having the upper end of the field. Warren kicked off well for Harvard, and, thanks to our rushers, the ball remained at Princeton's end for the first few minutes.

Princeton was obliged to touch the ball down behind her goal-line three times, our half-tends making several attempts for a goal, but gaining nothing. Wetherbee made good runs for Harvard, passing every one till he reached Withington, who stopped him each time, while for Princeton McNair made the best...
...very unfortunate that the weather this week has prevented foot-ball practice in the field, as the result of the match with Princeton last Saturday showed the weak points in our team, and proved decidedly that men cannot play well together in a game if they have not been faithful in their practice-work before the match. There are a great many details in passing, and tricks in dodging, which the Princeton men have mastered, and which we trust our men have now learned. The match to-morrow will be well worth seeing; and we can only hope that...
...Greenpoint Athletic Club held a field meeting Nov. 9, in which the handicapper distinguished himself more than the contestants. The following record of his blunders is clipped from the Spirit of the Times. We print it as showing the blunders that are frequently made in giving men distance...
