...next year, playing for the first time with eleven men, Yale won by a score of one goal to nothing. Harvard made two touchdowns, but by previous agreement, these did not count.

Portable stands will also be built for the Freshman field, which will be capable of seating from three to four hundred, and which can be erected in a short time. The cinder track around the football field will be used in the 1900 track games for the first time, and will probably be raised if it is found to be necessary. Plans have been made...
