...distinct falling off in the work of the 'varsity eleven was noticed yesterday afternoon. The work lacked the snap and spirit that characterized it on Tuesday. The second eleven played sharply and broke through well, preventing the 'varsity from scoring during the first half. In the second half the 'varsity did much better.

That Michigan was a strong opponent became evident at the outset, but that Harvard was stronger was clear before the game was far advanced. Every player seemed to be doing his best and all worked together better than it has been the happiness of Harvard...
