...side-lines. Boal appeared in football clothes, but did not take part in the practice. Reid, Parker, Gierasch and Fincke were all in the line-up. The centre of the line was unexpectedly weak. So long as Burnett was in the game, the forwards were able to break through fast enough to stop the guards-back play before it started, but towards the end of the first half, gains were made steadily through Sargent, Hollingsworth and Barnard...
...this season, the unsuccessful interference plays were given up for a steady battering of Brown's line. It was a succession of attacks on centre and right tackle which resulted in the two touchdowns made. In punting, Harvard had rather the worst of it. Owing to the fast work of the Brown ends, Sawin and Daly had few opportunities to make the long dodging runs which have been a feature of the practice lately. Hallowell and Campbell made the most of Sawin's punts, especially Campbell, whose tackling was very effective. Sawin held his own against Bates in the first...
...strong positions of the Harvard line were the guards and ends. Burden and A. R. Sargent played a fast and consistent game. Campbell and Hallowell also were impregnable on the defense and entered into the offense with dash and spirit. They ran down the field under punts in perfect style. Although responsible for one or two of West Point's minor gains, J. Lawrence played better than he has at any time this season. He was cool and was not guilty of his old fault of offside play...
...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 well have scored, for the Harvard eleven seemed unable to check their rushes. On the whole, the Freshmen played a poorer game than...
Under the vigorous coaching of Captain Reid, the whole squad has been well drilled in hard, fast play. The backing-up is, perhaps, the best feature of the work at present. In this, the effect of good coaching is especially apparent, great stress being laid upon the principle of having the fielders anticipate the play, and help each other out. The base running is rather poor, except in a few individual cases. Most of the men are inclined to be reckless, using no headwork, and lacking the quickness of decision necessary to good base-running. The batting is very weak...
