Only one touchdown was made by the first eleven. When time was called good rushes by Sanborn-who did all his work exceedingly well-were advancing the ball rapidly into the first eleven's territory.

The score does not show how much Harvard outclassed her opponents. Only once was the ball lost on downs, and Williams never succeeded in holding the ball for more than four downs. In point of team play the latter was very much...
