...Harvard Freshman eleven defeated the Pennsylvania freshmen on Soldiers Field, Saturday, by the decisive score of 41 to 5. The Pennsylvania players were outweighed to a marked degree and the result of the game was at no time in doubt.

Potter and Coombs, the ends, are very fast in getting down the field under kicks...

It has been raining hard all day and Franklin Field is very muddy and slippery. The players were restless at being kept indoors and the light signal practice this afternoon was a great relief. They are all in good spirits and splendid condition and feel quite confident of being able...
