...eleven, which the University team meets next Saturday succumbed to Dartmouth's more aggressive and cleaner playing to the score of 13 to 0. M. A. C. was constantly incurring penalties for off-side play, yet could not withstand the Hanover team's straightforward line-bucking tactics. The other setback was the scoreless the which was forced upon Carlisle by Lebanon Valley. Both teams were strong on the defense in this game, and both were most effective with wide end runs...
During this week came the most serious setback of the season--Sortwell was called away for an indefinite period and Captain Huntington was taken slightly ill with a cold. The prospects for the Saturday game with McGill were indeed poor, until it was discovered on Friday night that Sortwell would be able to return to play in the game. This contest marks the highest point of the season so far. Sortwell's lay-off had apparently harmed him not a bit and the Canadian team, said to be one of the best in the Provinces was beaten...
...team was defeated by the second last night, 3 to 1. Huntington was again in the game, as also was Sortwell, but neither was in the best of form and the forward line was weakened somewhat on this account.

The defense, too, was not shining as brilliantly as usual and had a tendency to rush at the man carrying the puck and, when attempting to get the puck out of the corners or out from behind the cage, tried to accomplish...
...shown a dexterity truly remarkable and were even mistaken for the University nine by a bystander on Soldiers Field recently. In fact Coach Pieper, watching the team at work a few days ago, annexed several members to the University squad; but the CRIMSON, in no way daunted by this setback, will bring to the game today as noble an aggregation of ball-tossers as Harvard has ever produced. At the bat the wearers of the "C" are formidable, and never allow a pitched ball to go by them, being especially effective on high balls. The Lampoons have been batting...
...freshman nine received a serious setback yesterday in the disqualification of its strongest pitcher. Coming as it does the day before the Princeton game, the nine is totally unprepared and the team which Harvard will put into the field will be considerably altered in its make-up. An accident of this kind invariably disturbs the work of the nine as a whole and we shall be suprised if under the circumstances the freshmen meet with success. However, we extend to them our heartiest good wishes If victory comes to them, the men may well feel proud of their record...
