Football.

Although the Harvard eleven succeeded in keeping Andover from scoring in Saturday's game, something they were unable to do a year ago, the game was very unsatisfactory and on the whole very discouraging to Harvard men. It was taken for granted that Harvard would win, but the score was only 46 and ought to have been much larger against a preparatory school eleven.

During the first part of the game occurred a deplorable accident which drew forth the sympathy of all the spectators. While blocking off, one of the Harvard backs, George Gray, ran into a group of Andover men and broke his left leg below the knee. This misfortune will deprive the team of one of its surest and most valuable backs. Gray had the support and confidence of most of the students, who were anxious to have him play in the important games. Considering his injuries last year, this accident will come doubly hard.

The great fault which nobody failed to notice was the total lack of team play. There was a vague looseness which accompanied every rush. Each man seemed to strike out for himself regardless of his fellow-players. This was especially true of the backs, whose interference and blocking off were most ragged. They received little support from the linemen, as their time was often occupied in holding their opponents, for which Harvard paid the penalty of ten yards time and again.

Arthur Brewer and Manahan played the best game in Harvard's rush line. Brewer was quick in breaking through and once downed his man with a loss of three yards. He made some good catches of punts and always gained several yards before he was tackled. Of the backs, Hayes was the heaviest and was the best ground gainer, though his slowness in getting started was a lamentable weakness. Manning ran well with the ball after he once got started, but his light weight told against him whenever he was tackled. Dunlop was sent through the centre for short gains. Wrenn played a quick, sharp game at quarter and made a very pretty catch of a high punt. Beale played the second half when his interference and blocking off were rather better than Wrenn's. Of the Andover men, Holt played the best game at right guard and was well seconded by Lindenburg.

In the first half, with successive rushes by Hayes and Manning, Harvard secured four touchdowns, from all of which Brewer kicked goals. Four more touchdowns were made in the second half, from which three goals were kicked.

It will be necessary for marked improvement in the team play, if Harvard expects to prevent Brown from scoring in Wednesday's game. The teams lined up as follows:
