...team was given out for publication differently from what it was intended finally to be. We fail to see how such action by the officers of the H. A. A. can be justified. If it was intended to influence the opposing team, it was hardly more than a trick, and probably an unnecessary trick; for there can be little doubt that any opponents would be willing to pull against Harvard's strongest team. We regret that H. A. A. should have taken such action, for it is contrary to the spirit of Harvard athletics...

McDonald dodged finely and brought the ball back near the middle of the field. Crosby fell on the ball. It was passed to White but Crane tackled him before he got started. The ball went to Wesleyan on a misplay...
...kick and Blanchard got the ball, but was thrown on twenty-five yard line. Harding rushed again. Nothing gained. Andover kicked. Trafford gained five yards and rushes by Harding and Goldthwai e gained nothing. Addiss got around the end but Dean threw him well. Taylor tried the same trick but was held by Cumnock.

Harvard's ball on four down. Lee, by two rushes gained thirty five yards. Andover...
