Harvard defeated Amherst on Jarvis field Saturday afternoon by a score of 39 to nothing. The game was by no means so closely contested as the one two weeks ago; the difference being due partly to Harvard's increased strength, partly to lucky plays, and very largely to Amherst' utter weakness. The visitors played their fairly strong rushing game throughout the first half. They gained frequently through the centre and occasionally made some tremendously big holes in Harvard's rush-line. During the first half also the Amherst ends were too strong to allow any long gains to be made...
...weakness at the bat was insignificant compared to the exhibition of base-running which the nine gave. It would have disgraced the weakest school team. In the first place, as soon as a Harvard runner got on a base it seemed to be the signal for him to show utter disregard of the coaching. The coachers in their turn got "rattled," and whenever the runners deigned to pay the slightest attention to their coaching, invariably told them to do the wrong thing.

The general play of the eleven, however, is far inferior to that of most freshman elevens. Their work up to a couple of weeks ago was lifeless and showed almost utter lack of interest. Lately, however, the work has been a little bettered; but if the accounts are true concerning Yale's freshmen team, that eleven is playing a far better game than Harvard's freshman representatives. Yale has had some of her best men laid up, but now they...
