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.

Ninety-Eight, 12; Ninety-Seven. 10.The tie between the sophomores and freshmen was played off yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field. The freshmen won after a very close and, for the most part, well played game by a score of twelve to ten.

In the first half the play was very even and neither side was able to score. Both sides did very good work, but, as in the previous game, played much better on the offensive than in the defensive game. The best playing for the sophomores was done by Weld, Scannell, Sullivan, and Garrison. For the freshmen, Cabot, Scott, and Redpath did good work. Cabot played harder and better than any other man on either team. The sophomores lost several times by running back in trying to round the end, and made both their scores on inexcusable plays on the part of the freshmen. Ninety-seven had the kick-off. Flint returned the kick and the ball was rushed up and down the field with varying fortune and no remarkable plays on either side. Neither side scored.

In the second half Sleeper took Connor's place at tackle for '97. The freshmen had the kick-off and Cabot made a very pretty tackle through ninety-seven's interference, stopping the play on her 30 yard line. In a few minutes '98 carried the ball down the field to within five yards of the goal and lost it on four downs, but White's off-side play gave them the ball again and Cabot carried it over the line. Redpath kicked the goal.

Cabot caught the ball from ninety-seven's kick-off and ran twenty yards. Then by long gains '98 carried the ball to the twenty-five yard line. Here she fumbled it and Scannell picked it up and ran the length of the field. He was tackled within 10 yards of the goal and Bancroft, the referee, blew the whistle to stop the play. At the same time Garrison got the ball from Scannell and carried it over, but as the referee had stopped the play, the ball was called down on the ten yard line. It was pushed over the line a little to one side and Garrison missed the goal.

During the rest of the game the play was loose on both sides. Each team scored a touchdown and kicked a goal, giving '98 the game. Score, 12 to 10. The teams lined up:

NINETY-SEVEN. NINETY-EIGHT.

Smith, l.e. r.e., Bull.

Connor, Sleeper, l.t r.t., Ames.

Hovey, l.g. r.g., Woodward.

Fitzgerald, c. c., Hennen.

White, r.g. l.g., Hoague.

Scannell, r.t. l.t., Fuller.

Gay, r.e. l.e., Woods.

Garrison, q.b. q.b., Scott.

Pillsbury, h.b. h.b., Cabot.

Sullivan, h.b. h.b., Redpath.

Weld, f.b. f.b., Flint.

Referee - S. Bancroft '88. Umpire-Borden '96. Linesman - Williams '97.

There will be no 'varsity game this Saturday, and it is very improbable that there will be any on Tuesday. This would make the next game that with the Chicago Athletic Association on Saturday, November 10, and in the interval the eleven will be in secret practice most of the time.
