...University eleven had another hard contest Saturday in the game with Brown, and before over 15,000 spectators barely managed to win by the score of 6 to 0. Harvard assumed rushing tactics from the start, and about the middle of the first half, after Kernan, by a 40 yard run had carried the ball to the 5 yard line, made the one touchdown of the game. During the remainder of the play the nearest approach to a score was when Harvard had the ball within 16 yards of Brown's goal and was then held and forced...
...first set was won by the Larneds owing to their superior team play and accurate placing, but Bishop and Lyon soon braced up and by brilliant net play and hard smashing pulled out the next three sets and the match.

...University was won yesterday afternoon by W. S. Warland '03, who defeated G. A. Lyon 2L., in three straight sets 6-0, 6-1, 6-4. Warland played a steady swift game, while Lyon's playing was below its usual standard, thereby making the match very uneven throughout. By hard, accurate volleying to the side lines, Warland continually passed Lyon both at the net and in the back court; Warland's service, too, was very effective, and frequently scored aces on Lyon's drives into...
