...play. The offensive strength of the eleven can hardly be judged by their showing against the lighter Wesleyan team, as the backs gained almost at will and the forwards opened large holes at every play. The new plays of running the tackles and ends proved fairly successful, although a lack of practice caused them to gain with none of their probable future effectiveness...
...preliminary trials for the Harvard-Yale debate were held on Friday in Osborne Hall. The speaking was not up to the usual standard and showed a great lack of preparation.

Throughout the game, the first eleven forced the play by hard rushes through the line into the second's territory. The 'Varsity line was greatly superior to the second's, the result being that the second rushed the ball little and were forced to punt continually...
