The Harvard-Boston Athletic Association game, which was postponed from Wednesday, was played yesterday afternoon and resulted in a score of 40 to 0 in Harvard's favor. On the whole, the game was decidedly encouraging from a Harvard standpoint, although the playing was by no means as good as it will have to be if the team wishes to win from Yale. In yesterday's game the individual work of every man on the team was excellent and the team play was very good. The interference seemed weaker than in any of the games which the team has played recently. The fact that Yale defeated almost precisely the same team by a score of only 23 to 0 makes Harvard's prospects seem brighter still.
All the men who played back of the line yesterday distinguished themselves, the long runs of C. Brewer, Wrightington and Hayes being especially notable. In the line Mackie and Waters did the best work. Both Hallowell and Manahan were tried at left tackle and Hallo-well did a little the better work. Wrenn played throughout the game at quarterback and ran the team well.
At the start, after Hoag had returned Brewer's kick-off, Harvard advanced the ball steadily down the field and in just four minutes after play began Wrightington had scored a touchdown, and A. Brewer had kicked the goal. Score, 6 to O. When play was resumed Harvard soon obtained possession of the ball and C. Brewer and Wrightington made 30 yard runs, the latter finally going over the line for a second touch-down. The goal was kicked. Score, 12-0. Upon receiving B. A. A.'s kick-off, Harvard steadily forced its way to the one yard line, when B. A. A. got the ball on a fumble. Hoag's kick was stopped by Wrenn behind the line and A. Brewer dropped on the ball, scoring the third touchdown. He failed to kick the goal. Score, 16-0. Wrightington secured another touchdown and A. Brewer kicked the goal before time was called. Score, 22-0.
In the second half Hayes made a beautiful run of seventy yards through left tackle and C. Brewer made a touchdown, from which A. Brewer kicked a goal. Score, 28-0.
B. A. A. kicked off and C. Brewer catching the ball ran 85 yards through the entire Boston Athletic eleven and made another touchdown. The goal made the score 34-0.
B. A. A. kicked again and Whittemore made a run of 60 yards. C. Brewer soon scored the last touchdown and the goal was kicked as time was called.
