Captain M. A. Davidson, who has played on the team for the past three years, has developed into an excellent fullback, and his playing has been compared favorably with that of McCracken, fullback last year. Of the other backs, Snook, who plays right halfback and weighs less than 150 pounds, is perhaps the most reliable man and is sure of his position. Butler has been considered the best man for left halfback but it is doubtful whether he will be able to hold his place against Reynolds, a freshman. Both players have shown up well throughout the season, but Reynolds...
...clock this afternoon. Last year Harvard defeated Brown by a score of 11 to 6. This year the Brown team is not as strong as it was last year, the men being light and inexperienced. Only two of last year's team play this year, Slocum, quarterback, and Bates, fullback and captain. On the other hand the Harvard team is not as far along in its development as when it played Brown last year.

...back punts for good gains, dodging well and fighting till downed. In his running of the team he showed commendable judgment. Ristine ran low and hard, and kept his feet well. Kernan followed his interference perfectly, and by his punting gained much ground for Harvard. McGrew at fullback played the best game he has done this year hitting the line hard, though a little high, and keeping his feet cleverly. His recovery of Carlisle's fumble and a rush of 25 yards through the line were excellent plays...

Several changes were made in the line up of the first eleven yesterday. Graydon was tried at fullback, and Cutts was moved to right tackle, Hovey taking his place at left gnard. Except for the placing of Cutts at right tackle the change did not prove successful as the first team was able to gain only through right tackle. The playing in the first half was spirited on the part of the ends and backs. The interference formed promptly, blocked off efficiently, and helped the man along when tackled. The backs were a trifle slow in starting, Ristine...
