...interference. As was proved by the Bowdoin game, the backs are still apt to be careless about taking their proper positions, and about starting simultaneously with the ball. N. W. Cabot '98 and M. Donald 1L., pointed out to the ends and tackles how to meet the attack with better advantage...
...last year's prominent substitutes: by Kennedy, who captained the second eleven, and who was prevented from playing by the one year's residence rule, by McCloskey, who will be Overfield's substitute at centre, and by Rengenberg, who started to play left end but recently has made a better impression as a full-back. For the other three positions there seems to be a host of good material. Howell's work, in particular, is so brilliant that it is expected he will develop into one of the best ends U. of P. has ever had. Snover and Stehle...
...feet, and by carefully following his interference, made some brilliant long runs around Williams's left end. Daly ran the team well and found no trouble in eluding the Williams's forwards by clever dodging. Fincke, who took his place in the last five minutes, played in much better form that last season, and was particularly effective in the interference. Both Reid and Sawin struck the line hard and the latter did some good punting...

Sargent will do something toward strengthening that part of the line. As Kendall is now playing rather better at right half than at left, there is little to choose between the three backs--Kendall, Warren and Parker. A bit unsatisfactory, still, is the work of the tackles. Eaton plays too desultorily; and Swain, who was so strong a tackle two years ago on the 'Varsity, has not yet even...
...from Exeter, was tried at quarterback, but as he was not used to the Harvard way of snapping the ball back, he was erratic in his passing. In the punting practice before the line up, however, his back field work with Parker was of a high order. Kendall played better at right half, and made some good gains through the line. The backs fumbled too much, but somewhat less than yesterday...
