On November Ist we won from the Sophomores by the score of I2 to 5. This was our first game in the inter-class series, and we had won. Line-up: l:lowditch, 1. e. Clark, r. e. Nickerson, l. t. Daly, q. b. ' Wright, l. g. Q Knowles, l. h. b. Sngden, Waterbury, c. Derby, Swann, r. h. b. Riggs, r. g. Stillman, f. b. Knowlton, Fox, r. t. Two days later we won the class football championship by de- feating the Seniors in a well fought game. The score was again 12 to 5. The Seniors had a decided advantage in weight, but the superior team work of the Freshman eleven told from the very first. A goal from the field was kicked by Stillman just as time was called at the end of the first half. Had this been made a mo- ment sooner the score would have been I7 to 5. The line-up follows: Clark, r. e. llowditch, l. e. Fox, r. t. Daly, q. b. Riggs, r. g. Swann, r. h. b. Sngden, e. Knowles, l. h. b. Graydon, l. g. Stillman, f. b. N ickerson, l. t. l The Pennsylvania Freshman team was outplayecl at every point by our team on Soldiers' Field, November 6th, and was defeated by the decisive score of 4I to 5. At no time was the game in doubt. We had a slight advantage in weight. The only score made by Pennsylvania was made by a pretty drop-kick from the 20-yard line. Harvard 1903 lined up as follows: Bowditch, l. e. Clark, r. e. Nickerson, McGrew, 1. t. Baldwin, Daly, q. b. Graydon, l. g. Knowles, Hersey, l. h. b. Sugden, c. Derby, Sprague, r. h. b. Riggs, r. g. Stillman, f. b. Knowlton, r. t. On November 9th our Freshman team 'defeated Groton by the score of I7 to 0. The sensational feature of the game was a 70-yard run for a touchdown by Stillman, when there were but 30 seconds to play at the end of the second half. Line-up: lglowditch, l. e. Clark, r. e. McGrew, l. t. Baldwin, Daly, q. b. Graydon, l. g. Hersey, l. h. b. Sugclen, e. Derby, r. h. b. Riggs, r. g. Stillman, f. b. Fox, r. t. On the following day the team lined up against the 'Varsity team. The 1903 eleven scored once, but after that were unable to cross the 'Varsity goal. The score was 20 to 5 in favor of the 'Varsity team. U The Freshman eleven lined up as follows: Clark, r. e. Fox, r. t. Riggs, r. g. Sugden, c. NVright, I. g. Graydon, l. t., Bowditch, l. e. Daly, q. b. Hersey, r. h. b. Derby, Stone, Leonard, l. h. b. Stillman, f. b. On Saturday, November 25th, our Freshman team played its last and best game. The Yale Freshmen were outclassed in every point of the game. Our team showed throughout the game the results of better training and coaching. After the first two touch- downs had been made by Harvard, the Yale defense broke down completely, and touchdown was added to touchdown, due partly to the wretched tackling of the Yale men, but more to the fast running of the Harvard backs. In the second half the Harvard team was almost entirely composed of substitutes. 4 The line-up was as follows: Bowditch, Donald, l. e. Clark, Waterbury, r. e. McGrew, Randolph, l. t. Baldwin, Daly, q. b. Graydon, l. g. Hersey, Kernan, l. h. b. Sugden, c. Derby, Swann, Knowles, Jones, Riggs, r. g. Sprague, r. h. b. Knowlton, Fox, r. t. Stillman, f. b.
