Harvard played her first championship game at Hoboken, N. J., Saturday, and easily defeated the Columbia eleven. At the outset of the game the ball was forced down close to Columbia's goal, and it remained there during the entire three quarters. Our men played rather carelessly, and Columbia, by touching back repeatedly, succeeded in keeping the score down.

...second three quarters Harvard braced up and ran around and through their opponent's line, completely demoralizing the Columbia men.

It can only be kicked, except it goes out of bounds. Goals scored by a kick alone count in this game, there being no touchdowns in the score, and no goal can be scored from a "free kick." Under the Rugby rules a goal can be scored by any kind of a kick except that of a "punt" - or kick...

...regardless of time or place, each player translating into sound the overwhelming passion of his soul. But this sublimity could not sustain itself. The crisis was approaching. One of the basses, by a mighty stroke, sent the ball high into the air; it paused, hesitated, then floated between the goal posts. Breathless was the suspense as it rose, and silence seized the entire company, but as it crossed the bar the whole orchestra burst into a cry of lamentation, outrivalling all previous efforts, then died into death-like silence, while the shrill jodel of the Glee Club goal-keeper rose...
