...Harvard defeated Bates 29 to 0, but as Bates has only five men of last year's team left, and as the backs are all new men, the team is much weaker than it was last year. A week ago today Yale defeated Bates 50 to 0 in two short halves, so that a large score may be expected today...
Although the practice yesterday was better than on Monday, it was still far from satisfactory. No preliminary work was done, and after a short signal practice the first and second elevens played a game of thirty minutes. The first scored two touchdowns and kept the playing entirely in the second team's territory. The substitutes then played a short game, while the first eleven practiced plays and new formations...
Their full strength was not represented, as Campbell, Lee, Graydon, and Daly did not play because of slight injuries, and Kendall played only a short time.

Burnett came out for the first time this year, and went through a little individual practice. Of the men who played in the game Ellis did the best work. He made steady gains by leaping over the line and by keeping...

In the first few minutes of play the third eleven by a series of line plunges brought the ball to the five yard line where it was lost on a fumble. Burgess of the first eleven during these plays showed up particularly well in his tackling. From the five yard line the first eleven, chiefly by the plays of Pruyn and Parker, scored a touchdown. The teams are at present lined up as follows...
