Since the breaking of the ground last spring, work on the Elizabeth Agassiz House at Radcliffe has progressed rapidly. This building is designed to be the club house of Radcliffe College, corresponding somewhat to the Union. It is situated on the corner of James and Mason streets facing the Radcliffe yard...
...increased intensity that made it finally irresistible. On the defense, Yale's play was as determined and effective as Harvard's, but less conspicuous because fully expected, while Harvard's defensive strength stood out because of the record of previous games as a complete surprise. Neither team gained much ground on trick plays and gains by quarterback runs were with one or two exceptions limited to two or three yards each...
...fake kick was thrown for a loss of 5 yards. Yale lost 15 yards for holding and Hoyt punted to his own 51-yard line. Brill made 3 yards and Hurley failed to gain. Sperry's attempted kick was partially blocked and the ball rolled along the ground until Sperry fell on it on Yale's 30-yard line. Harvard could not gain by rushing and Starr kicked to Flinn on Yale's 27-yard line. Yale in turn was forced to kick and Squires got the ball on Harvard's 45-yard line. Nichols went in for Sperry...

The back-field, however, is very strong, and should help the ends greatly on the defense. Smith, at fullback, is a reliable ground gainer through the line, and a sure tackle. All three backs. Smith Reynolds and Green, are good panters. Smith being perhaps the steadiest...
