...equally good playing on each side, the ball flying successively from one end of the field to the other. At the end of five minutes, however, Ross secured the ball, and by a quick throw from twenty yards distance, sent it flying between the posts. This was the first goal for the picked team, and it looked as if Ross might repeat his performance of the recent Somerville-Harvard game, when, alone and unaided, he easily captured four goals, in spite of the Harvard defence. Last Saturday, however, he met with a different reception. During the rest of the game...

The result was immediately apparent. In five minutes Noyes had scored a second goal for Harvard, and in three minutes more, Nichols had made a third. Occasionally the ball approached the Harvard goal, but the steady defence play of our team prevented the Cambridge men from making more than one throw for goal, an easy rolling ball stopped by Abbot, and each time, the ball was quickly returned to the Cambridge...
