...physical condition. This has proved a serious impediment to the development of the team as a whole. Acting on Mr. Murphy's advice the university team was given a complete rest last Wednesday, only signal practice being attempted, and on Thursday, and Friday the work was also of the lightest character. Many of the men had begun to show signs of too much hard playing and the let up of last week was undoubtedly beneficial. Holt, Glass, Goss, Hogan, and Metcalf were all in danger of becoming over-trained. Kinney was kept out of the line-up throughout the week...
...cover, and at team work, Tufts was weak at blocking and at goal passing. There was a great deal of fouling done on both sides, which passed unnoticed. For Harvard, the best playing was done by Smith, Bigelow and Bennett. Woodruff played the best game for Tufts, though the lightest man on the team...
...Sophomore Newell is the lightest of the five crews but the men row with a great deal of life. Their outboard work is ragged at times and the boat is not always on an even keel, although it moves well between strokes. Stroke, Brownell, 152; 7, Goodell, 163; 6, Bullard, 160; 5, Platt, 178; 4, R. Lawrence, 180; 3, Merritt, 158; 2, Atkinson, 164; bow, Morris, 168; cox., Jackson...
...tackle Donald has done as good work as his condition permits. He is heady, reliable, and a decidedly good tackle. Swain, though the lightest candidate, has shown good quality of work throughout the year. He is aggressive, tackles hard and accurately and runs fairly well with the ball. Wheeler is gaining all the time. He puts up a fierce game and would be invaluable but for his tendency to get offside. He also uses his arms too freely in blocking. Mills, who has the capacity of making one of the best football players in college, mars his brilliant work...
...Ninety-nine crew has not shown as much improvement lately as the other crews. The loss of Whitbeck at five necessitating two changes in the boat set the crew back considerably. The crew is the lightest of the four, but seven men have rowed in races before and six sat in last year's Freshmen boat. The men reach out well on the catch and have a strong body swing. Their leg work, however, is not good and they are heavy and slow at the beginning of the recover. The order of the crew in the boat, their ages, weights...
