The account of the game last Saturday between the freshman elevens of Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, which was published in yesterday's CRIMSON was mistaken in the statement that the Harvard team was much the heavier. This was the report sent out from Philadelphia, but as shown by the figures below, was false. The account also failed to do justice to the work of the Harvard ends, Cochrane and Richardson, which was of a high order, and constantly stopped the gains of the opposing team. Other inaccuracies in the account showed an ignorance of the personnel of the Harvard players on the part of the writer, if it did not exhibit a bias against them. The weights of the two teams are given below.
