...hardest game of the season to date, the University eleven defeated West Point on Saturday, by a score of 18 to 0. The game was filled with lessons for Harvard.

In the first half, the Juniors, who had several substitutes playing, were pushed steadily back, and a touchdown would probably have been scored against them but for the call of time.
