...injury to acting-captain Byrne of the Army team. Cadet Eugene A. Byrne was playing left tackle, he had been bearing the brunt of the Harvard attack, and the strain had begun to tell on him. On the fatal play, a line plunge just outside left guard, the Harvard back, aided by two or three of his team-mates, had gained a few yards when Byrne dove head foremost in front of the men. In some way his head was caught so that it was bent under his chest as the players fell on him. He remained in a semi...
...left halfback. The ends played well throughout the game, L. D. Smith making a number of beautiful tackles in the open field and receiving two short forward passes, while both he and Houston were down the field under almost every kick. Minot punted nine times, and the Army backs did not run these back for ten yards altogether. Minot played excellently, hitting the line hard and fast, but his punting was even more phenomenal. His nine punts averaged 37 yards and all but one were made against a brisk wind. Leslie, when substituted for Frothingham, was absolutely steady, so that...
...first division of yesterday's bumping races, the first three crews maintained their relative positions almost without change. At the second turn Randolph nearly caught Claverly, but was unable to hold the gain and soon dropped back to its former position.

...team. As this was the final practice for the first team before the West Point game tomorrow, the first squad was kept on the field only a few minutes. There was a short signal drill, the men were given a little instruction in their individual faults, and, after running back a number of kick-offs, the first team was sent in. The first team line-up, the one which will probably start the game tomorrow, was as follows: l.e., Houston; l.t., McKay; l.g., L. Withington; c., P. Withington; r.g., Fisher; r.t., Fish; r.e., L. D. Smith; q.b., O'Flaherty; l.h.b...
