...football game between the second eleven and Andover Academy at Andover on Saturday resulted in a tie, neither side scoring. The Harvard defense was strong and the Andover team in consequence adopted punting tactics from the start. The second eleven reached Andover's one yard line once where a fumble lost the ball, and was within five yards of the goal twice. Failure to score in these cases was due chiefly to the fumbling of the second eleven's backs, but the Andover team's defence was very strong, in one case holding the second eleven for downs...
...high score was due principally to the large number of costly fumbles made by the West Point backs and to the advantage of weight in the Harvard line. Harvard also made two fumbles at critical times, besides losing a great deal of distance and chances to score through off-side play and holding. In spite of this, however, the team had little difficulty in making regular gains, principally through the line, the whole eleven playing a snappy and fast offensive game. Nevertheless, whenever West Point got the ball a weak spot was usually found in the Harvard team and short...

He argued that the Democratic party has adopted a definite policy, while the assurances of the Republican party as to giving the Filipinos self government are vague and unsatisfactory...
...Freshman-St. Marks football game at Southboro yesterday afternoon resulted in a tie, neither side scoring. Although inferior in weight, the St. Marks line easily outplayed their opponents. The Freshmen lacked team work and were slow in starting. This was particularly noticeable on end plays when the Freshmen backs were held for big losses. Hutchinson's punting and the defensive work of Dodge and Burgess were the creditable features of the game...
