...before the match, so McGill kindly consented to play with nine men. The contest lasted three half hours and resulted in a victory for Harvard, with a score of three touchdowns to nothing. In the fall of '75 Harvard again defeated McGill at Montreal, with a score of two goals and two touchdowns to nothing. It may be well to mention here that all accounts of these two trips agree in expressing the utmost courtesy of our hosts and the corresponding gratitude of our teams. McGill did not neglect a single opportunity to do our men a favor...
...McGill fifteen visited Cambridge and were defeated by Harvard by a score of one goal and three touchdowns to nothing. In 1879 the Brittania team came down to Boston, and, after a rather exciting contest, were defeated, two goals and one touchdown to nothing. A few days later, Harvard played a return match with them in Montreal, scoring one goal to nothing for Brittania. The following Monday, in spite of snow and extremely disagreeable weather, a game was commenced with the McGill team, but, at the close of the first half, both teams were ready to withdraw and the game...
...team played three games with the Canadians, winning two and tieing one with Montreal; Brittania was defeated in Boston, two goals to nothing, and the Ottawa team in Ottawa, after a very close and exciting game, with the score of two goals and one touchdown to one goal and one touchdown, was defeated. Both of our goals were very prettily kicked from the field. In 1881 we defeated the Montreal team in Boston, playing with fourteen men, the score standing two goals to nothing...
...foot-ball Yale's record is unmistakably superior to Harvard's, standing five games to one draw, there being no game in 1877. In 1876 the score was one goal to two touchdowns, showing that the victory was won by some accidental superiority in kicking, and not by the general excellence of the team. In 1878 the score was one goal to nothing; in 1880, a goal and a touchdown to nothing; in 1881 Yale won with no score, Harvard making four safety touchdowns, and in 1882 Yale won by her largest score, one goal and three touchdowns. Thus, although...
...season's contests that victories would likely be very much the result of chance unless the safety touch was made to enter into the final score. And it naturally followed that this would make the best basis from which to reckon higher scores. A touchdown now equals two, a goal from the field five, and a goal from a touchdown six safeties. No doubt can be entertained concerning the relation between goals from touchdowns and those otherwise kicked. Our game with Princeton showed the immediate necessity of a precise definition in such cases and the disputed point served to naturally...
