...international courtesy. Forced to disperse, and driven from its seat, the faculty of the Belgium university has been compelled to seek the shelter of a sister English college. Now Harvard extends its hospitality to the stricken institution.

...last period, another Tufts pass was intercepted, this time on the 34-yard line. Eight rushes resulted in victory for Harvard. During the remainder of the contest, Tufts was at the end of its rope, throwing pass after pass in desperate attempts to score...

While Tufts did not display the finish of Washington and Jefferson in this department, yet the eleven is reputed far above the average in open play. When it is considered that a more or less skilled team gained only about 27 yards by means of passes, wasted 12 downs with no gain...
