Harvard was defeated last Saturday by the wide-awake, hard-fighting Dartmouth eleven, by the score of 22 to 0. The large score was due to this alertness and indomitable aggressiveness, coupled with the magnificent team play which Dartmouth displayed. The visitors took advantage of every fumble, forward pass or blocked punt, and were never caught napping. Their speedy and heavy backs varied the attack with a bewildering series of formations for end runs, line bucks and forward passes which kept the University team guessing...
...University games as their chief interest. At present their duty is to their class team--if indeed they are so indifferent as to look upon the effort of backing their team as an unpleasant duty, rather than as a gratifying opportunity of showing their appreciation of season of hard work...

He will be able to play in the two remaining games of the season and his presence should strengthen the team greatly...

Both teams suffered severely from penalties, and in one instance Harvard lost half the distance to the goal line, amounting to 30 yards, when Peirce was put out of the game by Umpire Edwards for charging into two Indians who were pulling Starr toward his own goal after the ball had been downed...
