...this week. The dual shoot with Yale will be held Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock and the intercollegiate shoot on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Each university will be represented by a team of five men, who will each shoot at 50 birds in strings of 25, thrown at unknown angles from a Magau trap. The Harvard team lost the intercollegiate shoot last year; but judging from the individual scores made this year on Soldiers Field, the team's prospects of success are good. No dual match was held with Yale last year, but in the match...
...centre for seven yards with Squires back, and the latter added five more. On a split play Hurley gained four yards and Squires followed with an equal distance through Hobson. Harvard then lost 15 yards for Brill's holding and on a fake formation with Burr back, Hurley was thrown by Folwell for a two-yard loss. He fumbled when tackled and the ball went to Pennsylvania in mid-field. Parker was ruled out here for unnecessary roughness and was replaced by White. After a penalty Sheble punted to Foster on the 35-yard line. Harvard rushed the ball back...
...after Harvard had lost 15 yards for holding, he was again given the ball, but failed to gain. Nichols punted to Stevenson who fumbled, and Leary secured the ball on the 50-yard line. Nichols on an end play made 12 yards, but on the next play was thrown back four yards by Torrey.

Pennsylvania was set back 15 yards and time was called with the ball on the 24-yard line...
...game starts with a kickoff from centre-field. The player who receives the ball may either pass it back to one of his own team or kick. Usually he "punts into touch," that is, he punts the ball out of bounds. The ball is then thrown into play by one of the halfbacks. The forward who catches the ball tries to break away, but is usually tackled and the ball "held," that is, one or more players of the opposite side get their hands on it. Then comes the most distinctive feature of the game, the scrimmage. The eight forwards...
Mason ran the first kickoff of the second half to his own 10-yard line and on the next rush Heilborn, in attempting an end run, was thrown for a safety by Macdonald. Coach Brown kicked out to Foster, who ran back to the 25-yard line, and was stopped with a hard tackle by Blagden. Lockwood made the touchdown from the 16-yard line, and on the first rush after the next kickoff went outside tackle for another score. Gilder fumbled the kickoff, but Nichols recovered the ball and returned it to the 25-yard line. He punted...
