...loss of three good men, while the Athletic team averaged ten pounds heavier. The Athletics had the kick off and gained twenty yards. Within six minutes they had pushed the ball over the line for the first touchdown. In the first half they scored another touchdown and goal, and were only prevented from making more points by Technology's desperate work. In the second half the Athletics soon secured the ball and after a good run by Morrison, Curtis made another touchdown from which a goal was kicked. Peters' good rush was soon followed by a touchdown and goal...
...went to Yale. Hamlin ran well again and Yale was given five yards more for off-side play. But at this point a bad pass lost Yale fifteen yards, and immediately afterwards Harvard secured the ball on four downs.

...teams have had some of their best players laid up and it was expected that the contest would be closely fought throughout. During the first half, although Pennsylvania fought stubbornly for every inch of ground, Wesleyan rather forced the play and scored a touchdown from which a pretty goal was kicked. During this half, however, Pennsylvania worked the ball down the field and Wesleyan was compelled to touch it down for a safety. This left the score at the end of the first half six to two in favor of Wesleyan. In the next half Wesleyan continued her same steady...
