With the Brown game only two days distant, the practice yesterday consisted of two hard halves against the second eleven, twenty and ten minutes long respectively. Although the defense was strong enough to hold the second for downs as often as the latter got the ball, the team work on the offensive was somewhat ragged. Not only were the men very careless about getting off before the ball, but also four times in the course of the practice the 'Varsity was penalized for offside play. The most encouraging feature of the practice was the brilliant playing of the tackles. Although...
...game between the Freshmen and Andover yesterday resulted in a tie, 0 to 0, for although the Freshmen slightly outplayed their opponents, they were unable to score. The Freshman eleven has improved considerably since the Exeter game last Saturday. The interference was more effective and the linemen charged their opponents more aggressively. There was surprisingly little fumbling in spite of the slippery ball...
Harvard defeated Bates College yesterday afternoon, scoring one more point than Yale did against the same team ten days ago. Although Bates made consistent gains at times in the first half, the substitution in the second of Campbell, Daly, Burnett, Donald and Eaton for some of the substitutes made the defense much stronger. In spite of the absence of Hallowell, the ends played a good tackling game, and made every yard of Sawin's punts tell...

Lawrence was outpunted by Sawin, poor tackling by Campbell and Hallowell allowed the second eleven to take the ball twice to the first's ten-yard line. Strong defensive work, however, prevented scoring...
