...faulty play in the first half, when two splendid chances were offered for touchdowns, but were lost through careless fumbling. Then again the half-backs showed too great a desire for kicking the ball over the line instead of rushing it. The tackling was too high, a fault which seems to be always confined alone to Harvard teams and which will take constant practice to overcome. The fumbling of long kicks occurred with altogether too much frequency to insure success against either Yale or Princeton. In short, the play was much worse than anticipated, and a "brace" must be made...
...foot-ball game with Tufts yesterday was distinguished by considerable "snap" and energy in playing. But the same old fault of tackling too high was noticeable, and in rushing the ball down the field the runner was generally poorly supported. It must be remembered that the opposing team was far from strong, and that these faults would be fatal against a heavy team such as Yale or Princeton will present. Brilliant playing was done by individual members of the eleven, but steadier team play is the great object to be attained...
...disqualified, if, at any point during the race it approach to within ten feet, or be distant more than a hundred feet from the central line. This is a most important rule, providing, as it does, that the two boats must always be twenty feet apart, and locating the fault beyond a doubt, if either crew fouls the other. A start is unfair, if, during the first ten strokes, either boat is disabled by any bona fide accident. Owing to the unequal length of the boats, the manner of starting the crews, was the cause of much controversy several years...
...four-mile course in it at full speed, however, until two days before the race. Then they will be sent for all they are worth, and if nothing happens they are going to make time that will astonish some of the chronic grumblers who are always and forever finding fault with the crew, the coach, the management and everything connected with the navy...
...feel confident that no lower position will be accorded us by the result of the scheduled games. Yet the infield must be more careful in their play. There is no reason for the one run which was given Brown yesterday, but the loose work of the infield. If this fault is remedied, the championship will be ours...
