...first eleven were on the field except Hallowell and Sawin. Hallowell is resting his weak ankle, and Sawin, although able to walk without crutches, is still unable to begin playing. Kendall and Eilis were on the field, and Ellis received a little coaching in punting from P. D. Haughton '99, but did no work. His leg is improving rapidly. Daly, however, twisted his knee in the practice game, and will probably be unable to play against Brown...
...lack of leg drive at the finish of the stroke and too slow body movement. In this last respect the second was better than the first; they got their weight on better, but their blade work was very ragged. The blade work of the first was good, except that at times the blades were high off the water at the catch...
...good margin. In the first place the Harvard team showed so much quickness on the defense that Pennsylvania's powerful offense was practically useless. In all, Pennsylvania gained many yards, but the gains were not consecutive and, without gaining that is steady, no team can win except on flukes or on its opponents' mistakes. Pennsylvania, therefore, was unable to pull out a victory by its own peculiar style of play, while Harvard, knowing the rudiments of the game thoroughly and having a fair amount of team play in all styles of offense, had little difficulty in scoring on Pennsylvania...
...either side of centre and about two yards back. The tackles go in next to centre and the ends into the tackle positions. The backs, in accordance with the rules, play five yards back of the rush line. Plays can then be run anywhere, and by any player except centre. This formation is very close and its success depends almost entirely upon absolutely concerted action. Pennsylvania thus gets more use out of her line men, especially the guards, on the offensive, than do any of the other teams, while her backs may be used just as effectively...
...last hard practice before the Pennsylvania game was held yesterday afternoon, and to-day the work will be merely a light signal practice. The whole first eleven was in good condition and all played yesterday except Kendall who is still resting before the game on Saturday. He is not seriously hurt but his shoulder is still a little weak. Campbell and Ellis both went into the game against the second eleven, this being the first actual playing Ellis has done since he was hurt at West Point...
