Harvard's offense was irregular throughout. After long runs by Sawin, and hard line-plunging by Hurley, Warren and Ellis, a costly fumble, or offside play would give the ball to Bates, and lessen the chances for a touchdown. Hurley and Sawin were the only backs who went into the line low. The hurdling style of Ellis and Warren, although effective yesterday, will not gain ground against a strong team. In the back-field, Sawin did excellent work. He outpunted Putnam repeatedly and by following his interference well, made several long runs...
...most avail against the strong teams to come. In the first part of the game the West Point line forced Harvard to exert every effort to gain by these straight dive plays, but as they weakened in the second half, cleaner play in the Harvard back-field would have insured a larger score...
...played with Exeter on Soldiers Field, Saturday afternoon, resulted in a tie, neither side being able to score. The Freshmen played a mediocre game. They tackled well, but fumbled a great deal and ran too high. Only once, in the second half, did it seem likely that they would score, but the ball was lost and Brill quickly punted it out of danger. Exeter, on the other hand, played a sharp and fast game, but missed the chance to score by attempting four goals from the field, which were all unsuccessful. Had they adopted a line-plunging policy they might...
...side of the line, and it was at this point that Dartmouth directed most of her successful plays. The tackles were also below the Yale standard. Yale depended on line bucking formations, directed at the centre and tackles, but tried no end plays throughout the game. In kicking, Dartmouth would have proved equal to Yale if it had not been for poor passing by Rogers. As it was, Yale showed great superiority and development in the kicking game. The Yale backs were a little slow in starting, due in part to Fincke's hesitancy in giving the signals. Yale scored...
...Freshman eleven could not be played because the Freshmen had not taken their strength tests. The Juniors took the place of the Freshmen, however, and two short halves were played. In the first half, the Juniors, who had several substitutes playing, were pushed steadily back, and a touchdown would probably have been scored against them but for the call of time. With several new men in the line-up, the Juniors, started the second half with a rush, but although they gained continually, they were unable to score, and the game resulted in a tie, with the score...
