Harvard's victory over Pennsylvania on Saturday was similar to those of the last two years. Pennsylvania, as usual, pinned all her faith on offense alone, and confined all her efforts in that line to one play, the guards back formation. Harvard, on the other hand, used all styles of play, and although accomplishing nothing extraordinary in any one of these, was able to outplay Pennsylvania sufficiently to win by a good margin. In the first place the Harvard team showed so much quickness on the defense that Pennsylvania's powerful offense was practically useless. In all, Pennsylvania gained many...

In the first set Laverack was not at his best and Marvin won easily, using a swift back hand stroke with great effect. In the second set Laverack improved greatly, running nearly every game to deuce and earning most of his points. Marvin's play weakened a little here but he finally won after a long deuce game. Laverack started with a rush in the last set and soon...
