...football team defeated Williams yesterday on Soldiers Field by a score of 12 to 0. The game was very loosely played on Harvard's part, especially in the second half, when the team not only failed to score, but allowed Williams to gain repeatedly. Even in the first half, with the full first eleven in the field, the attack was far from satisfactory. This small score, however, was due not entirely to poor playing but partly to two failures at goal from the field by Captain Daly...
...third eleven, and scored three touchdowns in all, one of them the result of a fluke. On the whole, the first eleven played a snappier game than yesterday, and did better defensive work in the line; but the interference was not good enough to allow the halfbacks to gain around the ends. Graydon was tried at fullback and did some successful bucking. He hit the line hard, watched the holes accurately and used his body well in getting through. Another improvement back of the line was Kernan's plunging through the tackles. He made two gains of twenty-five yards...
...lined up against the third of two halves of eight and five minutes each. In the signal practice, the coaches drilled the backs carefully in the formation of the plays, but in the line-up the results of this were hardly apparent.

...University football squad began practice at Soldiers field, Monday afternoon, September 18, with forty-five men. Since then the number of candidates has steadily increased until there are now nearly eighty men on the squad, a gain of twenty over last year. Besides B. H. Dibblee '99, head coach, W. C. Forbes '92, W. H. Lewis L. S. '95, J. L. Knox '98, R. B. Merriman '96, J. W. Farley '99 and other graduates have watched the practice...
...clubs that have just been reorganized? No definite conclusions could be reached, of course, by such discussion; but they would at least give a chance for the airing of opinions on both sides of disputed questions. This in itself is of no small value. A Republican or a Democrat gains little or nothing by walking ten miles in a procession with five hundred or a thousand equally ardent men of his own party. His opinions are not broadened by sitting in a friend's room and condemning the policy of his opponents. There is a decided gain, however, in listening...
