...relative strength. In that game as well as in the game with Lafayette, Pennsylvania was extremely weak on the offense and unable to gain when within striking distance of its opponent's goal. Harvard, on the contrary, showed a remarkably strong offense, but was unable to hold against a faster team. In the practice of the past week much time has been given to remedying this latter defect and, if the team plays to day as it has in the last few days of practice, the chances of winning are good...

Sulloway won by playing a steadier game...

The offensive work of the first eleven was spirited and snappy leaving little to be desired...

All the distance men are expected to report. The candidates will be divided into two squads, one for the faster men and another for those somewhat slower. The runs will be short at first--probably about two or three miles. This distance will gradually be increased...
