...Freshman eleven defeated Andover at Andover on Saturday by a score of 17 to 0. The Freshmen played a fast and aggressive game, free from fumbles, and gained ground steadily by well directed attacks, against Andover's tackles. Few gains were made around the ends. The Andover team was very light, was weak on the defense, and was unable to gain first down twice in succession, so that at no time during the game was the Freshman goal threatened...
...before the end of the game. In spite of a great advantage in weight and experience the Harvard team did no more than hold its own, and at no time seriously threatened West Point's goal. During both halves the play was in mid-field, and neither side could gain consistently. West Point made first down only once, on a fake kick, and Harvard's total gain by rushes, aside from Kernan's run, amounted to less than thirty-five yards. In only one respect, punting, did Harvard have the advantage. A total lack of team play was the chief...

The backs were a trifle slow in starting, Ristine did not follow the interference closely, and both...

On the next play Harvard stopped Columbia's hurdling formation without gain, and Morley punted. The ball rolled over Harvard's goal line and on the kick-out Kernan punted 70 yards. Morley returned the punt on the next play. Kernan punted again. Failing to gain, Morley fell back to punt, but the pass went over his head and rolled to the 35 yard line. On the next play the ball was fumbled, and Motley secured it. Three...
