...effectually stopped every effort to send men around his end with the ball. Wesleyan forced Harvard to play a kicking game. Hall's long punts repeatedly sent the ball away from the visitors' goal; it was not always returned well, the Harvard backs and especially, Trafford, being very slow. Trafford redeemed himself by some very pretty tackling, at one time stopping Hall and preventing Wesleyan from scoring. Sherwin, up to the time he was hurt, played the game back of the line, however; his play was strong at every point of the game...
...caused both teams to slip and fumble badly. '93's playing was at times especially ragged. Through sheer carelesness they opened up great gaps in their rush line for their opponents to take advantage of, but it was at the ends that they seemed particularly weak. The men were slow in getting through and there was a general lack of team work. The Cambridge boys began poorly but steadily improved as the game progressed. Their playing showed considerable practice and time after time they worked the old criss-cross trick with great success...

The opera continues this week and next...
...Boylston St. and West Chester Park. Though the game was to be called at 4.30, it was almost five o'clock before the Athletic Club men appeared. The half-backs fumbled badly, which was partly excusable as the last half was played in the dark. Both sides were slow in getting the ball in play, but played a strong rushing game. Forbes and Newell did the best work for '92, and Crane and Peters...
Ninety-one played two twenty minute halves with the Cambridge Manual Training School yesterday afternoon, defeating them by a score of 28 to 0. Ninety-one showed the greater strength and had little difficulty in rushing their opponents, but the men are still slow...
