FOOT-BALL.

The eleven played a practice game with the Technology team on Jarvis yesterday, and after rather uninteresting playing defeated them by a score of 14 points to 1.

The institute team had the wind, and from the kick-off forced the ball down the field by good kicking and rushing. On an overthrow by Mason, Harvard made the first safety. Harvard now improved and carried the ball immediately to their opponents' territory, forcing the Techs to make a safety. The ball clung to the Techs' goal after the kick-out, and good rushing by Biddle and Appleton caused another safety by our opponents. Afterwards Hartley was disabled by an injury to the knee and was forced to retire, Gilman taking his place. Biddle immediately rushed with the ball well up the field, and Wesselhoeft soon after gained the first touchdown for Harvard after a pretty run. The ball was punted out by Biddle but the try for goal was a failure. Just before the end of the first three quarters Adams secured the ball and made a second touchdown for Harvard but no goal was kicked. Time was called with the ball well in the Institute's ground. Harvard carried the ball well down the field from the kick-off in the second half, and in a scrimmage by the Techs' goal line, Wesselhoeft secured the ball and made a touchdown, again; however, the try at goal was a failure. Haines, the most effective player on the Institute team was disabled in this scrimmage, and his place was taken by Steele, Peirce taking Steele's place as end rush. Good rushing by Richards almost carried the ball to the centre of the field, but Biddle's and Henry's kicking forced it rapidly back, aided by the almost perfect tackling by Adams and support of Cabot. Biddle receiving the ball from a long pass carried it over the line, making the fourth touchdown for Harvard; from which Austin kicked the first goal. Time was called with the ball inside the Institute's 25-yard line. Haines and Richards played very well for the visitors, while Adams, Wesselhoeft, Biddle and Henry worked very effectively for Harvard. Several times the rush line failed to tackle well, but this will undoubtedly be remedied soon by practice. The contesting teams were as follows:

Harvard-Forwards; Wesselhoeft, Hartley, Cabot, Appleton, Bonsal, Crane, Adams; quarter back, Mason; half backs, Biddle and Henry; back, Austin.

Institute-Forwards: Winsor, Mahon, Todd, Baldwin, Fletcher, Cooley, Steele; quarter back, Richards; half backs, Hunt and Haines; back, Twombly.
