...those who do not know the difference between the fast and slow hunts, it will be well to say that in the fast hunt, instead of having a break at the finish, the hounds are allowed to run as they please all the way, and thus dispense with a master of hounds. This, of course makes the fast hunt the easier of the two, as a man is not obliged to keep with the crowd, but can set his own pace in harmony with his own strength. The hares in today's run will be C. A. Davenport...
Time was called at about half-past three, Andover having the ball. At first the play on both sides was rather slow, with no large gains for either side. Soon, however, the ball began to be forced towards Harvard's goal and Mowry made the first touchdown for Andover. No goal. Five minutes later, Bliss secured the second touchdown from which Coxe kicked a goal. Score, 10-0. During the remainder of the half, nothing more was scored...
...back and breaking through the centre of the rush line together. Their play was effective, rarely gaining for them less than three yards, and often five or eight. The reason the Harvard team could not stop these rushers better lay in the fact that all the men were very slow in getting through, and all tackled high.

White were the starters. The first quarter was rather slow, each man trying to shift the pace making onto the other. Bachelder won in 2m, 7 4-5s, with Priest second. The running broad jump was between J. P. Lee and W. N. Duane. Lee won at 19 ft., 3 1-2 in. The mile run was a walk-over...
...Harvard men, who blocked only with their bodies, according to rule. The Harvard rushers did not get through the Williams rush line at all. This fault was partly excusable, however, on account of the slippery condition of the field. They are still weak in tackling and blocking and slow in dropping on the ball...
