Harvard has again entered the league of chess clubs in Boston and vicinity. The championship was won by Harvard last year. The teams represented this season are the B. A. A., the Boston Y. M. M. C. U., the Boston Press Club, Somerville Y.M.C.A., Boston Chess Club, and the Harvard Chess Club. The first match will be played next Saturday between Harvard and the Boston Y. M. C. U. with teams of twenty men each...
Although the Pennsylvania team has been playing an unusually poor game all the season, their stand against Harvard on Saturday was unexpectedly weak. Aside from many technical and general faults in their eleven, the physical condition of the men was much inferior to that of Harvard. The strain of their trip to Chicago a week ago, coupled with the questionable policy of keeping the team at the seashore until the morning of the game, resulted in the exhaustion of even those members of the team who were not crippled. The Harvard team, however, was in superb condition...
...offense, in contrast to the defense, was full of faults, the most fatal of which was fumbling. Against a team playing faster and more accurate football than Pennsylvania, a dropped ball would result in a touchdown for the opponents. Attempts to correct this fault were made early in the season, and it is very discouraging to have it crop out now. The overeagerness of the forwards also cost Harvard the possession of the ball at critical times. Daly's generalship was open to criticism. He undoubtedly put dash into the team, and, as an individual player, was brilliant throughout...
...last year, the condition of the team this year is again all that could be desired. The weather has been unusually warm for football, but McMaster has eliminated disabilities of the midseason, and the team which plays today will undoubtedly out condition their opponents. In every game of the season, including that with the Indians, the Harvard players have lasted better than the men opposite them and have at no time shown signs of overtraining...
...practices have shown that Hallowell is the most reliable and effective punter on the team. He places his kicks and works well with the ends. Reid, however, has shown steady improvement in this department of the game, and Sawin, who has fallen off, however, since the middle of the season, can be called on to punt in emergencies. The principal weakness of the team at present is fumbling kicks--a weakness which gave the Indians their touchdown. Sawin, who is strong on catching punts, plays in the backfield with Daly, and together they are sure to clip off many...
