...Harvard Freshman eleven defeated the Yale freshman Saturday at New Haven by the score of 18 to 0. Harvard was superior to Yale throughout the entire game, though it was during the first half that all three touchdowns were scored. During this half, too, Yale came nearest to scoring when rushing, gains on kicks, and distance penalties gave Yale the ball on Harvard's fifteen yard line. Here, however, Harvard held for downs and regained the ball. During the second half seven of the Harvard players were obliged to leave the game on account of injuries and thereby so weakened...
...owing to the poor execution of a trick formation and holding in the line. Harvard then recovered the ball on downs and afterwards, by straight football only, was able to send Meier, Pruyn and Lindsay across the line for touchdowns with but little resistance from Yale.

In this stage of the game Winslow, Cross and Jennings did good work for Yale...

A watch was kept last night and will probably be kept tonight for the fourth and last time. However, it is hardly expected that there will be a shower, as the orbit of the Leonids is too far from the earth--about one and three quarters million miles. Moreover, the number of Leonids seen has decreased since 1898; less were...
...practice yesterday was the hardest the team has gone through since the Pennsylvania game. The first team scored three touchdowns, but they were the result of long end runs and were not made by concerted playing. The team lacked the ability to play together; the backs did not support the line and the line men failed to help the runners. The punting of the first eleven was poor and had no distance...
