Harvard '95, 22; B. L. S., 2.

The freshman eleven defeated, in a short game on Jarvis Field yesterday afternoon, the Boston Latin School team. The latter eleven stopped playing twelve days ago and they played against the freshmen as a favor. In spite of the fact that they were out of training they played a very creditable game. Their backs did not make any long runs but they made short gains through the line very frequently and used the revolving wedge effectively. They were a lighter set of men even than their opponents who form the lightest freshman team that has ever played for Harvard

Ninety-five did not play a very good game. The men lacked life, were very slow in lining up and blind to all chances to fall on the ball. They broke through quickly but almost always at the wrong moment; and consequently over-ran the back who had the ball. The eleven made some attempts at interference, but it was not very effective except at times around the left end where Boston Latin was rather weak.

The backs fumbled badly, both kicks and ordinary passes, and utterly failed to back each other up. Wrenn at quarterback did not put enough life into his men though he ran the team with good judgment. Whitman at full-back was suffering with a very lame leg and in that account could do very little kicking. The other backs made a few good individual rushes; but when Boston Latin had the ball, they failed to help in the defensive work.

In the line Davis played a good game. Whitren, the other tackle, was lively enough but didn't use his strength with good judgment. Emmons played the first half and did good work.

At about four o'clock the teams lined up as follows:

HARVARD '95. BOSTON LATIN.

Wadsworth, (left end) Gray.

Davis, (left tackle) Lewis.

Eddy, (left guard) Gould.

Potter, (centre) Houghton.

Murchie, (right guard) Scammon.

Whitren, (right tackle) Miller.

Emmons, (right end) Butler.

Wienn, (quarter-back) Twombly.

McNear, (half-backs) Wilson.

Jackson, (half-backs) Warren.

Whitman, (full-back) Beal.

Harvard had the ball. A fairly effective wedge and short rushes soon took the ball to Boston Latin's 20 yd. line. Here the freshmen made a series of loose plays and gave the ball to Boston. One of her backs fumbled in a moment and gave Harvard the chance to take the offensive again. Runs by McNear and Jackson through left end and tackle, and a but through the centre by Whitman took the play within five yards of Boston's line. McNear carried it over for the first touch-down, not far from the side line. No goal. 4 to 0.

At the 25 yd. line Boston could not gain and surrendered the ball to Harvard. Ninety-five's interference went all to pieces several times, but Boston was weak in her tackles and the freshmen soon had the ball on the twelve yd. line. Jackson carried it around the left end for the touch down. Goal, 10 to 0.

Boston kicked from the middle of the field, McNear muffed and Boston had the ball on Harvard's 20yd. line. The freshmen broke through and got it on four downs. They rushed it well up into Boston's territory again, only to lose the ball.

The freshmen played very loosely and Boston gained through the line steadily down to 5 yds. from Harvard's goal. Here a fumble lost them the touch down. Whitman made a poor kick from behind the line and was forced to make a safety. The half ended with the score ten to two.

In the second half Forbes took Whitman's place. Adams took Emmons' and Boyden, Wadsworth's. It was growing dark, and neither side could see well. Boston Latin took the ball, by working the wedge through the centre, well into Harvard's territory. Then the freshmen broke up the V, carried the ball down and scored. McNear made the touch down. Goal. Just before time was called Jackson made a long run in the dark and carried the ball to Boston's line. McNear took it across. Goal. 22 to 2.
