Playing the first game of the season, the Harvard freshmen were held by a strong Andover team to a scoreless tie on Saturday. In spite of the fact that the freshmen were favored to win, they only managed to threaten the schoolboys once, when the ball was worked up to the 10-yard line mainly through the efforts of Locke, who was playing at left half back, but then was lost on downs.
Late in the final period, however, Fitz, Andover halfback, succeeded in intercepting a Harvard forward, tore loose, and had covered 35 yards before he was nailed from behind by Locke.
In the second freshman game at Groton, Harvard was defeated by a score of 7 to 6 by the Groton team. The first score came early in the game when Groton brought the ball down to the Harvard 5-yard line, where Bailey, Groton left half back, slipped around end and went over the line.
The only Harvard score was made by Capucci, playing at fullback, who intercepted a Groton lateral late in the third period, neatly side-stepped four of his opponents, and ran loose for 50 yards.
The summary for the first Freshman game was: Referee--W. R. Higgins, Holy Cross, Umpire--E. L. Scoles, Bowdoin. Linesman--James Liston, Boston College. Field judge--Joseph Pendieton, Bowdoin. Time--11-minute periods.
