Harvard made most of her ground on short gains through the centre, but was as a rule unable to pass Groton's ends. As a whole, the Freshman eleven did not play the hard, fast game they were capable of and were lacking in what may be called football instinct. On the defensive they were very uncertain.

These, with a few exceptions, have never been on exhibition, and Professor Putnam has now intrusted their arrangement to Mr. C. C. Willoughby, acting assistant curator of the museum. In a short time the arrangement will be completed and the collection labelled...
