...opponent's 23-yard line and in six rushes Prince made the fifth touchdown, Doe kicking the goal. The Navy team was fast going to pieces and when, after an exchange of kicks, West Point secured the ball on the Navy's 45-yard line, it was an easy matter for Davis to score the sixth touchdown in eight rushes. He also kicked the goal. With only a few minutes to play, interference with a free catch on the 30-yard line gave the Army a chance for a goal from placement, which Davis kicked...

Presbrey of the National Tennis Association, whether the two English universities, Cambridge and Oxford, are in favor of an international intercollegiate tennis match.

...yesterday's issue a graduate asks, "What is the matter with football at Harvard?" If he could have been at the Wesleyan game yesterday, he would have found his answer there. Although attention had been called to the necessity for spirited support from the undergraduates, the cheering was deplorably weak and scattered. Such support is more dispiriting than dead silence. Matters would be improved if the leaders knew the Harvard cheer and showed some confidence in their own ability. Would it not be a good plan for the undergraduates to give the eleven a send-off when they start...
