Foot-ball at Harvard.

The Glee Club-Pierian game was set for two o'clock but as might have been expected did not get under way until half past two. As soon as the two teams lined up, it was evident that the Glee Club was heavier, and had more semi-professionals, or men who had played before, than the Pierian. Nothing daunted, the Pierian started in to win through superior skill. Unluckily the skill did not seem to show itself at the right time, or even at any time. When play was called, some good rushing by Faulkner carried the ball quite a way down the field, and a long kick took the ball almost to the Pierian goal-posts, and before the Pierians knew what was going on Lund had made a touchdown. There was no goal kicked from this touchdown, as the ball by some mistake was kicked toward the side of the field instead of towards the goal-posts. This mishap, however, turned out favorably for the Glee Club as they got the ball and Merrill scored another touchdown from which no goal was kicked. The Pierian now started in to play, and the quarterback made some frantic efforts to run but without success. A timely kick carried the ball well down the field and it looked like a touchdown for the Pierians, but Carpenter kicked the ball over the line. Soon after the Pierians were forced to make a safety, and the half closed with the score ten to nothing in favor of the Glee Club.

The second half was marked by good running by Carpenter, Swarts and Faulkner, and general good tackling by the others. In this half Rogers made a touchdown, and Faulkner kicked a goal. It seems ridiculous to make distinctions where all played with so much spirit; but on the Glee Club Swarts, Faulkner and Allen were the most conspicuous, and on the Pierian, Hallowell and Carpenter. Everybody tackled pretty well, and showed a delightful readiness in piling up on a man as soon as he was caught. The game was played for cups and for gore, and it would be difficult to say which side was entitled to "first blood." However no one was seriously injured, and if the game afforded as much amusement to the contestants as it did to the spectators, nothing more could be asked.
