...been as successful as we hoped and expected it would be, yet there is much in the record of the eleven of which we may justly be proud. In practice the men have trained hard and faithfully, and in the great games they have made every exertion to win. A closer or better contested game than that of Saturday could hardly be imagined. In so slight a defeat there is no disgrace. It can safely be said that no Harvard eleven has ever played better football than was played by the Harvard team last Saturday...
...well known, the eleven leaves this afternoon for Springfield to play their last game for the season. The task which they have before them is no easy one. Yale is sure to put an excellent team in the field, and victory, if we win, will be hard earned. These facts, however, should only make us the more resolute; and that our team may feel encouraged we must make up our minds to continue in every way the hearty support which we have thus far given them.

As for a dual league, that question must be settled later. The first thing to be done is to secure the purity of intercollegiate athletics...
...could be placed in him. He entirely disproved this opinion, however, by his later work. He had been saved during all the first half and so when play began again he was comparatively fresh, and did his work without any signs of fatigue. His kicking also helped materially to win the game. Channing was another man who distinguished himself. His rushing and dodging were remarkable and he seldom failed to gain the requisite five yards. No one could tackle him and he generally managed to squirm along a few yards after being downed. Black the other half back did very...
