...Saturday, the team played without him and showed an ability to forget their handicap, which was capital. There was a splendid aggressiveness and determination evident, culminating in the rush which scored the touchdown, and which moreover was the best executed attack seen on Soldiers Field by a Harvard team in several years. In spite of certain failings, some of which were marked, there was an admirable quality in the way they went about their work and that is the secret of good teams. Moreover it signifies the way they will accept the handicap in the coming two weeks, and gives...
...Freshman football team and Phillips Andover Academy played each other to a standstill in the game at Andover on Saturday, which resulted in a no-score tie. The teams were very evenly matched and neither could rush the ball beyond its opponent's 25-yard line. Punting was frequent as neither side was able to gain consistently.

...minute halves and an extra period of 15 minutes, the University lacrosse team defeated Cornell, in the Stadium yesterday afternoon, by a score of 15 to 11. With the score tied, 9 to 9, at the end of the second half, Cornell opened the extra period with a rush, Captain Lucker scoring a goal directly after the face-off. Cobb followed with two goals in rapid succession for Harvard and Captain Vance tallied the twelfth goal for the University team after a scrimmage. A few moments later both teams scored, and before the end of the period Vance and Furber...
