...mile intercollegiate was contested by the three Harvard men and Gubelman of Stevens Institute. It was won by Brown, Davis, 2nd, by a length, and Greenleaf, 3rd, by three feet.

...Much fault has been found at the indolent way in which members of the freshman class respond to calls made upon them by their college and class organizations.

They must put an earnestness of purpose into their work such as has not marked their practice heretofore. Whether the present disposition of the eleven is the fault of the captain or the men we do not stop to enquire. If a change is not apparant soon the blame will fall on those who have deserved it. The team has a month still in which to redeem itself, and show itself worthy of the class and college...

...Williams rushers held with their arms, but the umpire did not rule their playing foul. This was a heavy disadvantage for the Harvard men, who blocked only with their bodies, according to rule. The Harvard rushers did not get through the Williams rush line at all. This fault was partly excusable, however, on account of the slippery condition of the field.
