The freshman football team defeated the Columbia freshmen on Soldiers Field Saturday by a score of 33 to 0, five points less than the Yale freshmen made against the same team one week ago.
The game was slow from the start. Although there were plenty of good runs made by Harvard, they came more from the weakness of the opposing team than anything else. The freshmen in the class championship series were chiefly noted for their snappy playing. In Saturday's game at times they played as if they were in a trance. If they had kept anywhere near their old form, the score would have easily been one-third larger. They outclassed their opponents at about every point and had some fine plays, nearly all of which worked well.
Harvard's strongest point was behind the line. Here Redpath, Knox and Manning did about all that could be expected of them. Each during the game made good runs of 30 to 40 yards. Captain Scott at quarterback seemed at times to lose interest in the work and allowed the play to drag. Woods and Bull, the ends tackled finely and were good in breaking up interference. Very few of Columbia's gains were made around the ends. Tackle was the weakest part of the line. partly owing to the fact that the tackles were called back so frequently to run with the ball that they were not able to attend to their positions when they were in the line. The centre men have not yet learned to play low, so by simply brushing them aside Columbia made many gains.
The Harvard team lined up: Woods, l.e.; Fuller, Holmes, l.t,; Hoague, l.g.; Hennen, c.; Woodward, r.g.; Seaver, r.t.; Bull, Newell, r.e.; Scott, q.b.; Redpath, h.b.; Knox, h.b.; Manning, f.b.
Score - Harvard 33, Columbia 0. Touchdowns - Redpath 3, Manning 1, Holmes 1. Goals from touchdowns - Manning 4. Goal from field - Redpath.

Perkins, 6; Conant, 0.The match game between Perkins and Conant Saturday resulted in a victory for Perkins with a score of 6 to 0. While Conant had somewhat better team play, Perkins's hard line bucking was too much for her. Shaw, Alden, and Wilson did good work for Perkins, and Wheeler and Pierpont for Conant.
