...striking contrast with the above is the conduct of our Boston papers toward us; they pass over Yale's mode of playing with a cool indifference; they say that Yale played an unfair game, but they simply mention the fact casually, and do not even take the trouble to condemn such play. It is not only on this occasion, but on many similar ones that our Boston dailies have shown their absolute indifference to Harvard interests.

She now, however, had to deal with a sharper rival than hitherto, and the smart body-checking and passing on the part of both sides showed it to be the game of the day. Three minutes after play was called Harvard succeeded in driving the ball well down to the other goal. New York's goalkeeper rushed out to head it off, but it passed him, and Woods snapped...
