Ninety-nine won the class championship yesterday afternoon by defeating 1901 by the score of 12 to 8 in the deciding game of the series. The game was played on the 'Varsity practice field...
...Varsity defeated Wesleyan yesterday afternoon by the score of 34-0, in an uninteresting and one-sided game. Wesleyan was far from being the strong eleven that their recent scores indicated. They never kept the ball for any appreciable length of time and never forced the playing into Harvard's territory.

Although the ground was very slippery, the men succeeded in getting their plays off in clean shape, and Bull in particular distinguished himself by two 40 yard runs around the end. He was very strong on the defensive also, and broke up the interference well. Hoague and Wadsworth played their usual strong game. A. R. Sargent...
