GROTON, November 5, 1902.--Groton defeated St. Mark's today in the annual football game by a score of 36 to 0. Throughout the game the superior weight and team work of the Groton eleven enabled them to gain their distance at will. At the end of the first half the score stood 25 to 0, but in the second half the St. Mark's team, aided by more stubborn defense and by several fumbles, succeeded in holding their opponents down to 11 points. Groton scored six touchdowns, and St. Mark's was forced to make one safety. The feature...
...being a well-contested game, it was a foregone conclusion, after Harvard's first touchdown, that time only could determine the size of the score.

The defense however, showed improvement; but; although no gains were made through the line, the ends were several times boxed for long gains, and the whole team had a tendency...
...first two sets of the match were rather one-sided as Leonard and Warland showed themselves superior to their opponents in every part of the game, both men winning many points by their hard service and accurate placing. Lyon was erratic in the first two sets and did not seem to be able to return the swift balls of his opponents. His playing, however, improved in the third set which he and Bishop won by a score of 6-4. The fifth game of this set was very exciting and was marked by well-placed balls on both sides...
