The freshman eleven defeated, in a short game on Jarvis Field yesterday afternoon, the Boston Latin School team. The latter eleven stopped playing twelve days ago and they played against the freshmen as a favor. In spite of the fact that they were out of training they played a very creditable game. Their backs did not make any long runs but they made short gains through the line very frequently and used the revolving wedge effectively. They were a lighter set of men even than their opponents who form the lightest freshman team that has ever played for Harvard

Ninety-five did not play a very good game. The men lacked life, were very slow in lining up and blind to all chances to fall on the ball. They broke through quickly but almost always at the wrong moment; and consequently over-ran the back who had the ball. The eleven made some attempts at interference, but it was not very effective except at times around the left end where Boston Latin was rather weak.

The backs fumbled badly, both kicks and ordinary passes, and utterly failed to back each other up. Wrenn at quarterback did not put enough life into his men though he ran the team with good judgment. Whitman at full-back was suffering with a very lame leg and in that account could do very little kicking. The other backs made a few good individual rushes; but when Boston Latin had the ball, they failed to help in the defensive work.

In the line Davis played a good game. Whitren, the other tackle, was lively enough but didn't use his strength with good judgment. Emmons played the first half and did good work.

At about four o'clock the teams lined up as follows:

HARVARD '95. BOSTON LATIN.
