The game which the Yale freshmen played against the Harvard freshmen last Saturday was very like many other freshman games which have been played in the past. It is always difficult for a freshman team to play a scientific game of football because they are generally broken up just before the games by the admission of a number of new players from the 'varsity teams who are entirely ignorant of the game the team has been playing. The freshman teams at both Yale and Harvard are also much neglected in the matter of coaching there being seldom anybody around college who is able to coach and willing to give the necessary time to it. Considering these facts it is only fair to say that the game last Saturday was a very creditable one.

In team play it was a pretty even thing, but the Harvard players were better. The Yale freshmen played a very plucky game against a much heavier team, their tackling was very good and their runs were determined and vicious. Bliss did perhaps the best work on the field. He ran beautifully, tackled well and caught well. McCormick played a remarkably good game in every respect. Lewis did well at guard, while the end rushers Cochrane and James out-played their opponents at every point. For Harvard Newell and Shea tackled very well indeed, and Shaw played steadily and well. Behind the line Corbett did the best work and the most of it. He was rather too cool and collected; once he thought the ball was going to roll over the line and waited for it to do so, but it unfortunately stopped near the five years line and he was obliged to drop on it there. He made several line runs and his kicking could hardly be surpassed. Sherwin, Gage, Stone and Cabot played very steadily and well.

Perhaps 2,500 people saw the game. Harvard colors were plenty but Yale sent up very few supporters. There was very little enthusiasm, though in the second half the Harvard men cheered lustily for their team. The teams were as follows:
