Harvard defeated Brown on Saturday by a score of 11 to 6. The team played in poorer form than at any time this season, and by inexcusably frequent fumbling and carelessness almost lost the game. In the first half neither team scored, Brown losing the ball on Harvard's twenty yard line and Harvard fumbling it on Brown's five yard line. In the first part of the second half Harvard played a little faster and scored twice, but the men soon became slow and careless again, and Brown made a touchdown on a simple trick play...

In the second set Laverack improved greatly, running nearly every game to deuce and earning most of his points. Marvin's play weakened a little here but he finally won after a long deuce game. Laverack started with...
...ragged offensive work did not give the backs any opportunity to gain. The backs had practically no interference for end runs and did not help each other through the line as they should have done. The tackling and open field playing of all the men was loose and careless, and near the end of the game Glidden and Cooper of the second team were allowed to make dodging runs of forty yards through the whole team...
