Harvard scored only seventeen points in two twenty-minute halves against the Exeter Academy team yesterday afternoon. Exeter brought down a very good team. Her centre was very fairly strong and her whole rush line play was much quicker than Harvard's. The two backs, Thomas and Haradon, made some excellent rushes, and seemed to find little difficulty in going through the centre of Harvard's line and occasionally around the ends...
Harvard played a rushing game throughout, and at this Gray did some excellent work. He starts off very quickly and keeps well on his feet. The play of Harvard's backs was the only thing that won the game, for the rush-line work was abomniably weak from start to finish. Newell and Emmons were the only men who played in anything like 'varsity form. The ends were very slow in getting down on the ball, and Exeter's backs repeatedly went through the centre...

Trafford's kick was wild and Harvard got the ball on the 15 yard line. Failing to advance it the ball went to Dartmouth. Ide and Price made short rushes and Price kicked. Trafford caught it and Lake carried it down 40 yards, when Price tackled him very prettily. White made 5 yards through the centre and Lake 15. A bad fumble gave Dartmouth the ball and Ide gained 35 yards. Harvard got the ball on 4 downs and Lake make 55 yards in a magnificent rush. White advanced it 5 more and Lake carried it over the line. Time...
...over the line where Price dropped on it. The second half Saltonstall took Highlands' place in the line, and Gage White's at left half back. After 10 minutes of loose playing Harvard had the ball and Gage made 15 yards. Lake made 10 more followed by a pretty rush of 20 by Gage. Then Lake brought it within 8 yards of the Dartmouth line by a 15 yard rush and Gage carried it over. Goal. Score 16 to 0. In the remaining 5 minutes no score was made...
