...first half Harvard, playing with the wind, kept the ball well within its opponents' territory, and after some very pretty team-work Needham scored. At the beginning of the second half the visitors took a sudden brace and rushed the ball down for two tallies. The University team then recovered and made repeated attempts to score, but was unsuccessful. The Springfield team excelled in team work but lacked the aggressiveness displayed by Harvard, especially by Needham in the forward line and Rushmore and Francke in the backfield.

If such a condition prevails, it must have developed within the last two years, for until last year the balance, which is now against the Harvard men, stood decidedly in their favor. Though the proportion of Harvard students enrolled in the school at any time before 1911 averaged only...
...University lacrosse team easily defeated the Springfield Lacrosse Club last Saturday in a very one-sided contest by the score of 24 to 0. The visitors were seriously handicapped by the sudden loss of several regulars, and consequently did not make as good a showing as they have earlier in the season...
