...master thoroughly the rudimentary points of the game, have made the development of the team this year unsatisfactory to the coaches, but during the last week the men have improved considerably, and with the return of Parkinson and Montgomery should prove strong both on offense and defense. The principal fault of the eleven is with the line men, who fail to charge and fight as they should. The men are for the most part in good physical condition, and can be relied upon to play a plucky game...
...usual standard. While the backs have shown good ground-gaining abilities, the line has been very weak and easily broken up in nearly every game. The backs, notably Gardiner, have proved themselves to be powerful men, but they fail to receive the necessary support from the line. The principal fault of the team as a whole, is that it is too erratic. At one moment it plays a hard and spirited game and then lapses into the ways of a third rate eleven. Dropping punts, bad fumbling and slow interference are all characteristic of the team at times. These defects...
...decided improvement, and as a whole the showing was considerably better than it has been for some time. End runs, however, were the only effective means of advancing the ball, for as soon as line plays were used the second team secured the ball on downs.

Most of the touchdowns were due to long gains around the end by Kernan, Knowles, Hurley and Putnam by which the ball was brought with in scoring distance and was then carried over by Knowlton. Marshall made some long...
...unsatisfactory feature of the game was the fact that it afforded no real test of Harvard's defense, because, owing to an advantage in the wind, the Brown team, whenever it had the ball, usually chose to punt without attempting to advance by rushes. The old fault of fumbling appeared again in exaggerated form, and often with serious results. There was seemingly an increased desire to help the runner, but this good quality lacked the merit of regularity,-as sometimes the man with the ball was thrown for a loss for want of careful or effective interference. Plays were also...
...Newell four graded upperclass crews are rowing. The first crew, though powerful, is still rough and lacks snap. The three lower crews, on the other hand have more life, but fail to get a good leg drive. All the crews hang at the catch, a fault which has lately seemed worse at the Newell than at the Weld. The Newell Freshmen have been finally organized and no more changes will be made unless absolutely necessary. On the first crew, a powerful leg drive has been attained, but at the expense of clipping and rushing. The lower crews are mostly inexperienced...
