...eleven had an almost perfect day for their game with the Williams team Saturday, and about 1000 people gathered on Jarvis to see the game. Williams had fairly good sized men, but lacked the skill necessary for a strong game and proved no match for our team. Harvard kicked off at 2.55 with the sun and wind in their faces, but immediately forced the ball down the field until Bonsal secured a touchdown after a sharp run. The ball was punted out and Austin kicked the first goal for Harvard. Shortly after the kick-off, Hartley and Cabot...
...dozen persons present, who are only admitted by ticket, usually secured some days beforehand. The lovely, though dim and solemn, chapel is small, having seating room for not more than 200 people. The entire evening service of the Church of England was intoned and sung, and a more perfect and worshipful religious service it has never been my privilege to engage in. Two of the boys have voices famed all over England, and it so happened that both of these boys took a solo in the anthem. Never have I heard such devotional music, so heavenly, so inspiring...
...course foot-ball monopolizes the greatest interest, and the team is working hard to perfect their play. During the last few days both Richards and Terry have been laid up, but their injuries are only slight and they will both probably resume practice in a few days.

Wesleyan's halfbacks repeatedly saved her from worse defeat, for their kicking was almost perfect. Harvard kicked off and made Wesleyan touch back for safety forthwith. She retaliated immediately and driving. Harvard back she forced our men to make three safety touchdowns, gained entirely by the long kicks of the half-backs. In one of the subsequent downs the Wesleyan centre rush made a decidedly...
...disabled in this scrimmage, and his place was taken by Steele, Peirce taking Steele's place as end rush. Good rushing by Richards almost carried the ball to the centre of the field, but Biddle's and Henry's kicking forced it rapidly back, aided by the almost perfect tackling by Adams and support of Cabot. Biddle receiving the ball from a long pass carried it over the line, making the fourth touchdown for Harvard; from which Austin kicked the first goal. Time was called with the ball inside the Institute's 25-yard line. Haines and Richards played very...
