...University on October 15, and similar figures based on the registration at the corresponding time last year. It will be noticed that every department of the University, except the Law School and the Bussey Institution, shows some loss, while even the Law School, which made a remarkable gain last year, remains practically stationary. 1904 1903 College: Seniors, 264 318 Juniors, 439 419 Sophomores, 603 637 Freshmen, 548 560 Specials, 148 136 2002 2070 Scientific School: Fourth year, 86 89 Third year, 64 102 Second year, 140 139 First year, 115 113 Specials, 119 112 524 555 Graduate School: Resident...
...yard line. West Point in turn, after forcing the ball down the field by a succession of fierce line plays from Harvard's 48-yard line to the 20-yard line, was held for downs and thus lost its only chance to score.

After a gain of 2 yards through centre, Prince fumbled a high pass for a punt, and Hurley fell on the ball on West Point's 40-yard line. Nichols made 10 yards at left end, and Mills 6 more at centre. By strubord defensive play West Point then secured the ball...
Fumbling, especially by the University team, was frequent throughout the game, owing in some degree to the slipperiness of the ball and the wet field.

The line plunging of Mills, a the head of the diagonal formation, was again to be depended upon for consistent gains...
