Harvard '95, 22; B. L. S., 2.

Jackson, (half-backs) Warren.

Whitman, (full-back) Beal.

Harvard had the ball. A fairly effective wedge and short rushes soon took the ball to Boston Latin's 20 yd. line. Here the freshmen made a series of loose plays and gave the ball to Boston. One of her backs fumbled in a moment and gave Harvard the chance to take the offensive again. Runs by McNear and Jackson through left end and tackle, and a but through the centre by Whitman took the play within five yards of Boston's line. McNear carried it over for the first touch-down, not far from the side line. No goal. 4 to 0.

At the 25 yd. line Boston could not gain and surrendered the ball to Harvard. Ninety-five's interference went all to pieces several times, but Boston was weak in her tackles and the freshmen soon had the ball on the twelve yd. line. Jackson carried it around the left end for the touch down. Goal, 10 to 0.

Boston kicked from the middle of the field, McNear muffed and Boston had the ball on Harvard's 20yd. line. The freshmen broke through and got it on four downs. They rushed it well up into Boston's territory again, only to lose the ball.

The freshmen played very loosely and Boston gained through the line steadily down to 5 yds. from Harvard's goal. Here a fumble lost them the touch down. Whitman made a poor kick from behind the line and was forced to make a safety. The half ended with the score ten to two.

In the second half Forbes took Whitman's place. Adams took Emmons' and Boyden, Wadsworth's. It was growing dark, and neither side could see well. Boston Latin took the ball, by working the wedge through the centre, well into Harvard's territory. Then the freshmen broke up the V, carried the ball down and scored. McNear made the touch down. Goal. Just before time was called Jackson made a long run in the dark and carried the ball to Boston's line. McNear took it across. Goal. 22 to 2.

K. Fairbank, L. S., was referee, and M. Newell '94, umpire.
