...were conditioned. Fifty more received preliminary certificates. This leaves a total of 362 men for '99, but the class will probably enter with not more than 350 members as compared with 338 in last year's freshman class. Harvard '99 is about 100 larger, numbering 465 men, a gain of 47 over last year. '98 S. is probably smaller than than the Sheff. freshman class last year, though no reliable figures can be obtained...
Dartmouth had the kick-off. The ball went to Dunlop, who was downed on Harvard's 30 yard line. After a short gain, Dunlop punted to Dartmouths 35 yard line. Eckstrom made 10 yards through Gould; then the ball was fumbled, and Weld finally secured it on Dartmouth's 30 yard line. Hayes and Dunlop, by successive short gains, carried the ball near the line, Dunlop scoring the touchdown. Arthur Brewer failed to kick a goal, and the score stood: Harvard 4, Dartmouth...

Harvard would get the ball, and make some breach in the rules and Dartmouth would get it. Then Dartmouth would play the same trick. The ball was finally near the centre of the field when time was called...
...game from Harvard's point of view was exceedingly disappointing. Dartmouth played a remarkably sharp and agressive game, frequently surprising the Harvard line before it was at all ready for an attack. When the backs struck the line they went at it as if they meant to gain in spite of all obstacles. Though they are said to be weaker than last year, they played a better game than last year...
...backs ought to have been good enough to make gains. In the first half were Hayes, Weld and Dunlop. The last named was the best on ground gaining, which he did chiefly through center, where Shaw and Holt made good holes for him. But at punting he was poor, sending the ball high in the air but making little gain. Finally, in the last half, Brewer had to do the punting...
