...Harvard line by far the best playing was by Boal. He blocked two kicks, handled his man with ease, and was the mainstay of the forwards. He is one of the few regular men who is in splendid physical condition. Burden played only one half and gave place to Barnard. Hallowell's playing and punting were of the first order until he was forced to retire from the game. The remainder of the line, however, played without particular merit. Lawrence was as aggressive as usual, but often totally ineffective. In addition to his old habit of getting off side...
...therefore ineligible to compete again next spring. Graff, who sprained a tendon in the games last year, has not been allowed to do any work since in order that his ankle might regain its strength. He is now as strong as ever, and will be Yale's mainstay in the sprints the coming season...

The mainstay of Haverford, both in bowling and batting, is Lester, who in three previous games with Harvard has the strong batting average...
...account of weak eyes. Scannell has only played a few days, but is in good condition and will strengthen the line immensely. Sleeper, the other tackle, is not playing nearly as well as last year.

Hallowell can be depended on to punt well, though he is not particularly strong at running with the ball. Scattergood is a new man from Haverford, where he had quite a reputation as a football...
...competed in the games with Cambridge last fall, four-Richards, Cady, Hickok and Crane-have left college. The loss of Richards will be keenly felt, as he has contributed more to the success of the team than any one man except Hickok. Burnet will be Yale's mainstay in the dashes this year. Hickok not only won more points for Yale in four years than any other man has ever won, but he also trained up three good men in hammer and shot events-Chadwick, Cross and Brown. So Yale will still be strong in these two events. Hatch...
