...game full of long runs and spectacular plays the University football team defeated Bates yesterday afternoon by the score of 18 to 0, the first time in four years that Bates has failed to score. Corbett's sensational run from Harvard's 5-yard line the length of the field for the second touchdown was the feature of the game.

Corbett went through the line for ten yards, but after a couple of line plays, Cutler tried a forward pass to Cutting which failed, and the second team got the ball again. The second tried a fake kick but failed to gain and a bad pass from Perkins rolled over the goal line where R. Page fell on it for a touchback. The line...
