Harvard displayed her usual strength in the line, holding Wesleyan's feeble attacks with comparative ease. The tendency to off-side play and holding, so apparent in last Saturday's game, has not yet been eradicated, as the team showed signs of reverting to such tactics yesterday. The result was that once Wesleyan got the ball for holding, and once was given yards for off-side play. The offensive strength of the eleven can hardly be judged by their showing against the lighter Wesleyan team, as the backs gained almost at will and the forwards opened large holes at every...
...ends, Graydon and Richardson were given no opportunities for breaking up plays as Wesleyan always tried the line when they had the ball. Both these men did fair work in rushing, while Graydon followed the ball with great precision and as a result recovered it for Harvard several times...
...forwards, Swain was always in the game. He held Wesleyan's rushes very effectually and opened large holes for his backs. He was also well down the field on punts, with the result that he once tackled for a loss, and once, securing the ball on a fumble, ran 35 yards for a touchdown. Donald was strong on the defense, but on the offensive was careless about letting men through...
...game with Cornell on Saturday, which was won with comparative ease by the score of 24-5. Although scored upon the first time this season, the 'Varsity simply outclassed their opponents in straightforward football, being weak in but one particular, namely, punting. Cornell's score was not the result of any superior strength either in the line or among the backs, but of one of those opportunities which, however unevenly two teams may be matched, are always presented through instances of constantly recurring carelessness. In this particular case it proved to be a muffed punt by Dibblee...
...READY.- The superb Wormly Ed. of Balzac, published at an expense of over $100.000 and strictly limited to 250 numbered copies. The illustrations are by Goupil and Co., Paris.

The result is 586 truly magnificent etchings on the heaviest India paper (a separate book with this Ed. gives portraits and histories of the artists selected, nearly all being medalists) making this Ed. by all odds the most beautiful and artistic Balzac extant. Translated by one person throughout and conceded by experts...
