...Phillips Andover Academy at Andover Saturday afternoon by the score of 2 to 1. The Freshmen, however, did exceedingly well as the Andover team was the same team that played the University team last Wednesday, with the exception of one man. The field was very muddy making the play slow. In spite of the fact that the Freshmen were scored on twice their defensive play was better than Andover's while the latter excelled in offensive work. The game was evenly matched and well con- tested, Carnochan, Lowrey, and Greene playing well for Harvard while Kwan for Andover...
...three races, in consequence of which the opinion has already been expressed, even in a Harvard publication, that the team is not properly qualified to represent Harvard, and should therefore no longer be allowed to enter intercollegiate competitions. This is the unsportsmanlike spirit with which basketball, after a slow decline, was last year buried by action of the Athletic Committee.

...regular tackles, Hobbs and Lilley, are both experienced men and hard and sure tacklers. Andrus and Goebel, the guards, are also experienced players and are dangerous men both on account of their weight and their ability. Cooney, at centre, is a good passer, but his weight makes him slow. Howe, the final choice for quarterback, has shown good judgment in his choice of plays all through the season. His playing, however, has been marred by fumbling and inability to handle the ball accurately on punts. The Yale backfield is undoubtedly one of the best in the country...
...start the third crew was given thirty seconds and the second ten seconds over the University crew. Both the second and third crews took a racing start, but the University eight started off at a slow stroke of about 30. The second crew immediately began to gain on the third before the Boylston Street Bridge was reached, the University eight just holding its own. At the next bridge the third crew was only a length and a half of open water ahead of the second boat and the position of the University crew had not changed. After passing the third...
