...were slow in tackling; the backs ran remarkably well and gained ground at nearly every rush. The game began at three o'clock, with the ball in possession of Harvard. The rushers formed a wedge and immediately forced the ball up to the Latin School's ten yard line. On the third down, Brooks ran across and scored the first touchdown. No goal. Five minutes later the ball was the Latin School's on Harvard's fifteen-yard line. Then Kendricken made a good rush around the end and scored. Goal by Anthony. Good rushes by Heard, Brooks and Travis...

The score made against Wesleyan was not one to encourage the undergraduates. But it must be remembered that no incentive was offered for extra exertion, while slow cautious play was indulged in lest the game should result in the disability of some member...
