...ball was in the middle of the field for a time. Remington, Holden, and Sears, by fine rushes, advanced the ball 40 yards. Then, on lining up, Holden took the ball around by phenomenal running and dodging, and secured the second touchdown for Harvard. No goal. Harvard soon got the ball inside of the 25-yard line, and Sears passed through the Pennsylvania men with ease, scoring the third touch-down for Harvard. Again no goal. Pennsylvania, then, by several well placed kicks, gained considerable ground. Wright made a good run, but Harvard got the ball again. Very pretty work...

...second half opened with brilliant runs by Coates, Downs and Wright, who carried the ball well down into Harvard's territory. Harvard got the ball and passed it back to Peabody, who made a magnificent long punt. The return kick by Graham, was intercepted by Faulkner, and then Harvard regained the lost ground. Dudley was disqualified by the referee for tripping and his place was taken by Fletcher. Remington soon succeeded in picking up the ball, and made a fine rush, securing a touchdown for Harvard. A goal was kicked. Fletcher was hurt in a scrimmage and his place...

...later made the fourth touch-down. Goal by Crane. The ball now stayed a short time in the centre of the field. Rushes by Slocum and Tyson however carried it well forward, but it was kicked over.

Crane kicked the goal. The score was then 34-0 and no more points were made...

Besides, such articles are always made, as everybody outside of Yale admits, with some slight underlying reference to College Trustees and Faculties. Yale may "boss" her Faculty: other colleges have not yet got quite so far, as witness the entire suspension of Inter collegiate foot-ball at Harvard last year. In view of Yale's course last year and this year, to indict us for failure in an impossible effort to induce our Trustees and Faculty to gratify Yale in the revival of a rule in whose suspension Yale herself acquiesced willingly enough last year, is just a little...

...great shape. It was in vain that our rushers and backs would try to get through the line with the ball. Even when they did find what looked like a hole a Yale rusher was sure to come round from the further end and stop the runner before he got to the backs. In fact their backs did very little tackling and are evidently not so good as the rush-line. Watkinson's kicking was good and well judged, but beyond this, the backs did not do very much, and in the first half they seemed to be a little...
