...Freshmen's first game, and that after only ten days of practice, the result is very encouraging. Fumbling was in evidence on both sides, and was the direct cause of Harvard's touchdown. The score came after three or four minutes of play in the first half. Groton was in possession of the ball on its own 30-yard line, when Paine intercepted a forward pass and fell on the ball on the 25-yard line. The Freshmen then went through Groton's line for good gains and scored a touchdown in six rushes. Smith kicked the goal...
...during the game was the victory in doubt, and twice the University team lost good opportunities to score. Burr's goal from placement on Williams's 43-yard line was the feature of the game, and his punting gave Harvard a constant advantage throughout the game. During the first half the play was fairly even; the offence of both teams was weak, and they were frequently forced to punt. During the last half, after the second set of backs were put in, the University team played its best game this year. The first score was made after a few minutes...
...first half Cutler received the ball on the kick-off and ran it back to the middle of the field; Smith went through centre for five yards, but Peterson got Cutler's onside kick in the next play.

Burr failed to kick a goal from placement, and Brown punted out to Cutler, who was downed on the 45-yard line. It was then that Corbett made the longest run of the game, twenty-five yards. White followed him for twenty more on a fake kick. Corbett went through right tackle for two yards, after which Cutler pulled White through...
...listeners were satisfied. But this does not contradict the presumption that had a new song been written last year with the necessary vitality of rhythm adaptable to a large chorus it would have been taken up with an enthusiasm which the old stand-bys will soon fail to command. Half-hearted singing of unfamiliar songs is even worse than half-hearted cheering and infinitely more depressing. Last year it seemed as though the committee in charge of the competition were determined to gain something besides experience from their efforts, and accordingly chose five contributions by the elimination process, retaining these...
