...rather early in the season to estimate accurately the strength of the foot ball team, yet the work Saturday calls for some comment. The most marked faults were a general lack of snap and a looseness of playing at critical points.

Several times the ball was lost by pure carelessness; in two instances it was deliberately taken from Harvard players while running. The men tackled and blocked well, and the individual work was good. With...
...Exeter eleven which will play on Jarvis this afternoon is said to be a trifle inferior to the teams of previous years. The men are as a general thing ligh, but they are said to play with a deal of snap...

The batting was weak except in the tenth inning when Cummin and Wrenn made clean hits, thereby bringing in the winning runs.

Carpenter played faultlessly at first, and Cummin made good catches in left...

The freshmen lacked snap in their play however, and much improvement will be needed if a good showing is to be made against Yale '91. Appended is the score...
