'95 18; Fall River 8.From a Harvard standpoint the freshman game at Fall River yesterday was very encouraging. The '95 team showed that they have benefited by the coaching of the last week. The eleven were not so heavy as their opponents, yet, by their superior team work they scored more than twice as much. The line blocked off well, and tackled well, and no one could find fault with them if they had only broken through better, especially in the center and at the right end. But they do not break through well enough yet, and they must improve more than a little in this particular if they expect to do anything with the Yale freshmen and those nine men from the 'varsity training table; time and again yesterday it was only the good tackling of the quarter-back and line half-back that prevented Fall River from making long gains through the great big holes that she opened up in Harvard's line. Behind the line the work was still more encouraging. The backs ran well together, and Wrenn showed very good judgment in working them. McNear might get off quicker and both he and Jackson made had fumbles, but on the whole the backs did very well.

The game was played in two halves, one of 35 minutes and one of 22. In the first half neither side scored though Fall River worked the ball down to Harvard's 20 yard line. In the second half Whitman scored two touch downs for Harvard, after the ball had been worked down to the line by short. sharp rushes, and Whittren scored one by breaking through and falling on the ball after a bad pass by Borden. Whitman kicked all the goals. Fall River scored twice, first on short rushes followed by a long kick which McNear muffed, and afterwards by good runs round Harvard's right end. The tries for goals after both touch downs were failures.

The following is the summary:

HARVARD '95. FALL RIVER.
