...playing of the first eleven was much the same as in the Bowdoin game. The backs could gain fairly well around the ends, but could make only short distances through the line. This was due partly to the slow starting of the runners and partly to the failure of the linemen to keep the holes open. The defensive work was better, and the second eleven was unable to gain any ground whatever. There was some improvement in running back the kick-offs, as the interference formed quickly and the runners stuck to it well. The entire team was considerably affected...
Eaton went in at left tackle on the first eleven for the first time this year. He put plenty of energy in his work, was very active, and succeeded better than the other men in the line in helping the backs. He endured the hard work well and was not exhausted. J. Lawrence did not watch the ball carefully, and allowed Swann to run twenty-five yards on an old-fashioned fake kick. He stopped the second attempt at the same play for a loss. Ristine, who has just gained permission from the Faculty to play, went in at right...

...down the field under kicks. Neither Wear nor Fincke is doing satisfactory work at quarter, both being erratic in their passing. Of a large number of backfield candidates, Sharpe and Chadwick are doing the best work at end running. Hale has shown himself the best candidate for bucking the line...
...attendant faults. The offense is being carefully developed at the expense of the defense. Although this plan may result in large scores against weak teams, and consequent over-confidence, its real dangers are apparent in the games in which Pennsylvania plays against a team with a fast offense. The line-men, chosen for their ability to run with the ball, cannot meet a determined attack, as the last two Harvard games have shown. Again, the amount of work on the eleven that Captain Hare attempts, and the practice of giving the signals from his position at guard, of necessity detracts...
