"Sand" and science were shown by our eleven, science and "sand" by the other. Both teams showed that they were playing to win. It would have been difficult to gather two more powerful teams upon short notice, than contested yesterday.

Although our team played a strong game, Yale had more experience and slightly superior skill, which was enough to win them the victory. When all played so well, it seems invidious to single out any one man for mention. But for Harvard, Holden and Dudley were perhaps the most noticeable; and for Yale, Beecher, Wallace, and Gill.
