Harvard then worked hard, and by active play of the rushers, despite loose work of the halfbacks, kept the ball near the centre and then forced it slightly onto Yale ground. Hurd and Finney did well and Peabody exchanged long kicks with Terry. Soon Yale was again forcing and Kimball missed a kick on his own end. This gave Yale much ground. Kimball was tipped over after making a kick and partially stunned, but with great pluck continued to play throughout the game.

Tilden will play left field, his old position ; his fielding was not up to the mark last year, but steady practice and faithful training we are sure will improve his record...
