Harvard showed much improvement over her game of a week ago, but there were still a large number of weak points.

A committee has been appointed to solicit the necessary funds and the prospects are good that the plan will be carried...
Pennsylvania had little trouble in finding holes in it. The tackling except on the part of 3 or 4 men was high and at times far from effective.
