...dispute the referee's decision in Saturday's game: "As will be seen from the scores of all games played this season, a touchdown from which a goal is obtained is not scored. Without quoting any rules it will be admitted that a touchdown from which, by a place kick, the goal is obtained is not scored. The difficulty then is to prove that a punt-out is as much a try at goal as a place kick.

The ball was kicked off again by Harvard, and after a lively scrimmage Richards made another touchdown for the Techs., but failed to kick a goal. Good playing on the part of N. M. Francis and Thacher then forced the ball near the Tech.'s goal, only to be carried back to Harvard's by good kicking of Haines and Du Ppont. A short scrimmage and the ball...
