Harvard won the opening game of the season Saturday afternoon, defeating Williams by the score of 20 to 0, in two well played halves of fifteen minutes each. The initial appearance of the 'Varsity was decidedly encouraging. Although Williams was somewhat weaker than last year, they nevertheless presented a heavy team that is capable of very good football. The score does not show how much Harvard outclassed her opponents. Only once was the ball lost on downs, and Williams never succeeded in holding the ball for more than four downs.

While the contrast was not marked it was nevertheless noticeable that the Harvard speakers and Clark of Yale, spoke calmly and with force. The other two Yale speakers seemed to approach ranting at times...
...work is still the same as before, consisting of chest-weight and dumb-bell drill, followed by a run, in addition to the regular work on the machines. The material for the crew is very good physically, but as yet the rowing is poor and the time is bad. Nevertheless the men are rapidly improving and by the time they go on the river they will probably be in good shape. Of the new men who have come out, Scattergood, Sullivan and Kidder are the most promising and they are showing daily improvement. Yesterday the crew was coached by Duffield...
