...forth near the centre of the field and, though Brown rushed farther than Harvard, Cutler's good kicking evened up matters. In the second half Brown outplayed Harvard, though several times the Freshmen got together and gained ground, only in most cases to lose it by a poorly executed forward pass. Only two out of eight attempts at onside kicks or forward passes proved successful for the Freshmen, and in neither of the successful cases was over five yards gained...
After this there will be no easy games to look forward to. Brown, Carlisle and Dartmouth intervene in quick succession before the final and decisive contest, and it is no idle prediction to state that a repetition of yesterday's tactics will mean defeat at the hands of one or more of these strong teams. The mid-season slump is proverbial, and it has certainly appeared. In the coming games the team will have a chance to prove that the slump was only temporary, and if every player enters upon the games with the same fighting spirit which cropped...
...University football team narrowly averted defeat at the hands of the Springfield Training School last Saturday and won only by the small score of 9 to 5.

Last year the University team defeated Springfield...
...guard, going in at end, and Congdon at centre. In the short scrimmage after the signal drill, the second team twice held the university team for downs and gave it considerable difficulty in scoring one touchdown. Straight football was used for the most part though one or two forward passes and onside kicks were worked successfully. Coy's work at fullback was conspicuous. He hit the line hard and made several good gains...
