At the beginning of the second half the visitors took a sudden brace and rushed the ball down for two tallies. The University team then recovered and made repeated attempts to score, but was unsuccessful. The Springfield team excelled in team work but lacked the aggressiveness displayed by Harvard, especially by Needham in the forward line and Rushmore and Francke in the backfield. Although marred by a number of fouls, the game was on the whole...
