...Harvard Freshman eleven defeated the Pennsylvania freshmen on Soldiers Field, Saturday, by the decisive score of 41 to 5. The Pennsylvania players were outweighed to a marked degree and the result of the game was at no time in doubt. They played a creditable uphill game however, in spite of their light weight, and forced Harvard to work hard for every touchdown. Few long gains were made through their line, and Harvard's touchdowns were made by short plunges after good end runs. Pennsylvania held Harvard only once for downs and gained the required five yards but twice...
...practice yesterday was hard and satisfactory. In spite of the slippery condition of the field, no one was hut. The wet ball, however, aggravated the old habit of fumbling.

The line will soon be in its final shape with Boal able to play. He will take...

...afternoon, scoring one more point than Yale did against the same team ten days ago. Although Bates made consistent gains at times in the first half, the substitution in the second of Campbell, Daly, Burnett, Donald and Eaton for some of the substitutes made the defense much stronger. In spite of the absence of Hallowell, the ends played a good tackling game, and made every yard of Sawin's punts tell...
