...starting, however, and the men do not always watch the play closely enough. On the offense the line is capable of making good holes and getting opposing players out of the way; but it does not always work together, although the effectiveness of the men in helping the runner along in a measure counter-acts this fault. Although the backfield is somewhat slow in starting, it follows close behind its interference. The formations have not been highly developed as yet, but the work so far gives promise of the final development of a fast and compact interference...
Only six men ran in the cross country run yesterday afternoon. J. E. Haigh '03 led the squad along Western avenue and back by the Speedway around Soldiers Field, a distance of two and a half miles. There was no break at the finish...
...lacked unity. There was no consistent defense in the line, chiefly because the men did not watch the ball. The tackling, however, was very accurate. The offensive playing was much stronger than the defensive, for although the linemen were weak in opening holes and did not pull the runner along effectively, there was very little fumbling and the interference formed quickly...
Sargent at center not only passed well, but went into all the plays in good style. Barnard and Lee opened large holes in the line and helped the runners along. Cutts was slow in starting with the ball, but when once under way gained ground effectively. Marshall was not accurate in handling the ball and did not watch the opposing team enough in directing the plays. Graydon hit the line very awkwardly and was not accurate in finding openings. Kernan and Putnam ran well with the ball and warded off tackles, but Kernan was careless in handling the ball...
...This year the Brown team is not as strong as it was last year, the men being light and inexperienced. Only two of last year's team play this year, Slocum, quarterback, and Bates, fullback and captain. On the other hand the Harvard team is not as far along in its development as when it played Brown last year. This may, perhaps, affect the result of today's game; but Harvard should have no difficulty in defeating Brown by a safe margin. Brown's record this year is as follows: Brown 12, Boston College 0; Brown 16, Colby 0; Brown...
