...freshman foot-ball eleven played the eleven of Phillips Andover Academy Saturday, and were defeated by a score of one goal to nothing. The supreme confidence of '86 in its eleven was slightly shaken; but in justice to the team, it may be said that the Andover campus is very unfortunately situated, and any eleven unacquainted with its peculiarities is at a great disadvantage.

...method of Harvard of all colleges there is the happy medium. Her attack is strong, and yet she does not permit the enemy to make his way to her goal unmolested. But she is in need of practice. Some of her men fail in picking up the ball and in passing in the field. In the game with the New Yorkers, when the latter were tired from previous play, Harvard seemed to have slightly the advantage. But the question is very doubtful. Will it be so when New York is at her best next week? Much depends on the vigorous...
