...only by the small score of 9 to 5, and narrowly escaped defeat. This year Springfield plays the same open game, and is particularly skillful with the forward pass. Springfield was defeated by Princeton on October 3 by the score of 17 to 0, and, although their line was weak, got off-some excellent passes, not failing once to secure the ball...

With three exceptions, two of which were costly, Harvard played a good game in the field, and Aronson, Simons, Currier, and Dana, all contributed good plays. Any team, however, which does not bat looks weak, and Harvard certainly appeared weak yesterday...
