Harvard won the second game of the foot ball season Saturday afternoon, defeating Dartmouth by a score of 43 to 0. The game abounded in brilliant plays, and was one of the prettiest contests which will be seen on Jarvis field this year. Both elevens were inclined to play roughly, each having a man disqualified for slugging; some of the Harvard rushers, too exhibited he same tendency to play off-side, which proved so costly in the Exeter game. These faults are not unnatural at the beginning of the season, however, and doubtless will disappear as the men play longer...
...second half began at 4.02 with Harvard in possession of the ball, and the spectators were treated to one of the prettiest exhibitions of rushing and blocking ever seen on Jarvis Field. The ball was passed to Lake; taking full advantage of the scientific blocking of the men before him, dodging in and out, he wormed his way through the Dartmouth team, ran the full half length of the field, and scored a touch-down; Trafford failed in his try for goal. Score...

...Fall River tried playing a kicking game, and succeeded in keeping the ball away from their goal for a time. S. Borden was injured at this stage of the game and Hill took his place.

...cricket eleven was beaten by Longwood on Saturday by a score of 115 to 50. Annand's run out was the prettiest play of the day. His partner, who was batting, made a draw towards long leg. The ball, however, only went fifteen or twenty feet, and long leg was way out. Annand called for a run, Sullivan, who was keeping wicket, ran for the ball, got it, and turned around and threw for his wicket, knocking one of the stumps out of the ground a second before Annand grounded his bat within the crease. Davis also made a good...
