...elevens of the Boston Athletic Association and the Chicago Athletic Association played to a tie in Chicago yesterday afternoon. The game was said to be the hardest fought that has ever taken place in the West. At the end of the first half the score stood 4 to 0 in favor of the Boston team. In the second half the brilliant work of Van Duser of Chicago resulted in a touchdown for the latter. The goal was missed, leaving the score Boston A. A., 4; Chicago...
...Previously in the season Yale's opinions were very reserved, and there was hope instead of confidence, in spite of the encouraging press opinions and the reliance the public seemed ready to put in that hackneyed article, "Yale sand." The Princeton game this year was undoubtedly a hard-fought, even, honorbly played contest, which ought to do a great deal for the continuance of this branch of athletics.

Just at the end, however, Thorne's second touchdown showed Yale's superiority to be unquestionable. Final score, Yale 20, Princeton...

The Carlisle Indian School sent an unexpectedly strong team, and it required Yale's best work to make the three touchdowns which made the final score. The game was sharp and well fought, and on the whole was a cleanly played game as well. The Indians showed a recklessness that was not hard to understand, and an evident attachment to the game that was out of harmony with their short acquaintance with it. Their work in the line was excellent...
