...repeated attacks. Clothier at left end suffers by comparison with Bowditch, but is a player of average ability and more than average aggressiveness. Back of the line, Marshall has not played the game that his former reputation called for. His signalling for plays has been slow, and his judgment in directing attacks not good. On the defense he plays too far back of the line, and is not reliable in handling punts. Nichols is a fast and brilliant runner, and fights for every inch after being tackled, but is apt to rely too much on his own efforts. On plays...
...defense is determined and effective, and forces Yale to kick repeatedly. Three times Harvard has got the ball within striking distance of the Yale goal.

Such a point of view is utterly foreign to the Harvard system, which, on the contrary, strives to make the University debater fully dependent on his own discretion and best judgment, holding out to him as an ideal that he should know his subject so thoroughly as to be able to take part in a debate with Yale or Princeton with nothing committed to memory, with nothing rigidly predetermined, but with the whole question clear in his mind, every argument at his tongue...
Hurley in his first game of the year, played with speed and good judgment. Both he and Nichols picked their openings well, and interfered well for each other. At end, Clothier and Burgess played well; and Montgomery allowed no gains, but was slow in analyzing the opponents' play. Carrick at center showed as before an almost total lack of aggressiveness...
