To the academy team, the game was
the most important of the year, and
they treated it as such. There was a
determination in every minute of play
on the part of the academy players,
and the exhibition of foot ball was by

easiest thing in the world for an acad-
envy runner, if he kept his feet, to rip
through the university line for a few
yards gain.
The Harvard freshmen, who con-
quered the academy team 70 to 0, APP
peared much stronger than their Yale
rivals. The Yale ends were fast and
tackled hard, and there was Yale grit
