...Freshman Eleven played their first game of the season, against Phillips Exeter Academy, October 18. Exeter won the toss, and Hooker kicked off well; Cabot soon got the ball, and the Freshmen kept it for some time in close proximity to Exeter's goal; the home team, however, by fine rushing and passing, after a hard struggle, succeeded in getting a touch-down, the ball having struck a tree and bounded back into an Exeter man's hands; time was then called...

Holmes and Cowdin were particularly active, and Harvard seemed determined to do something. Princeton was obliged to touch the ball down behind her goal-line three times, our half-tends making several attempts for a goal, but gaining nothing. Wetherbee made good runs for Harvard, passing every one till he reached Withington, who stopped him each time, while for Princeton McNair made the best rush of the game, which he followed up by a drop-kick that...
