The picked team was composed of players selected from the Somerville, Boston, and Cambridge clubs, and was the strongest twelve with which Harvard has yet had to contend. The game was well played and interesting throughout, and was only decided by extending the time of play beyond the close of the second half hour. Harvard won the game because of superior team play.

The game began with equally good playing on each side, the ball flying successively from one end of the field to the other. At the end of five minutes, however, Ross secured the ball, and by a quick throw from twenty yards distance, sent it flying between the posts. This was the first goal for the picked team, and it looked as if Ross might repeat his performance of the recent Somerville-Harvard game, when, alone and unaided, he easily captured four goals, in spite of the Harvard defence. Last Saturday, however, he met with a different reception. During the rest of the game he was closely watched, and did not succeed in scoring again. The remainder of the first half hour was played without either side making a goal, Score, picked team 1; Harvard 0.

When the second half opened, clever playing by Merrit of the picked team secured another goal from Harvard in less than two minutes from the time when play began. From this point Harvard improved its play. Hitherto the ball had been kept principally on the side towards the picked team's goal; but the Harvard attack players had seemed unable to get in any shots for the posts. Within the next few minutes, however, Woods made a throw which went through the goal, and after fourteen minutes more, Noyes made a goal by a swipe from Twombly's throw. Time was called before any more goals were made. Score, picked team 2; Harvard 2.

By mutual consent, another goal was played for. It was won by Harvard in three minutes by a throw of Noyes.

It will be seen from the score that Harvard played a good up-hill game. In running, body-checking, and team-play, the Harvard men were generally superior to their opponents. It remains to be seen, however, how well they will do against a twelve with such fine staying powers as Princeton has.
