Harvard's offense was irregular throughout. After long runs by Sawin, and hard line-plunging by Hurley, Warren and Ellis, a costly fumble, or offside play would give the ball to Bates, and lessen the chances for a touchdown. Hurley and Sawin were the only backs who went into the line low. The hurdling style of Ellis and Warren, although effective yesterday, will not gain ground against a strong team. In the back-field, Sawin did excellent work. He outpunted Putnam repeatedly and by following his interference well, made several long runs...
William Jennison '51 L. S., died in San Francisco, Sept. 28, after a long illness. He was a native of Boston and studied law at the Harvard Law School, beginning practice in Detroit in 1853. In 1869 he was assistant United States district attorney, served on the school board and public library committee, was elected judge of the Wayne Circuit Court in 1882, and filled that office several years. Previous to this time he had served as supreme court reporter, gaining a state reputation and wide experience. He also published five volumes of Michigan supreme court reports...
...plan for the races will be tried this year. Instead of having the events come off in the basin, below Harvard Bridge, they will be rowed in the short stretch above the Boylston Street Bridge. This arrangement will make the races less than a third of a mile long, or about eighty strokes. Cups will be given, and an entry fee of twenty-five cents will be charged...
...practice of the eleven yesterday was marked by strong defensive work on the part of the line-men, and by brilliant long runs by the backs. The steady line-bucking which has been the plan of attack in all the practice games was given up for end plays. Against the weak ends of the second eleven they were very effective. Eaton, who has not been able to play since the Williams game, was allowed to play a short time, but soon gave place to J. Lawrence. Donald also played left tackle in the second half and greatly strengthened the line...
...combination in the back field proved particularly effective, since thirty-three points were scored, principally by long end runs. Sawin played his best game of the season. In addition to strong punting, he scored three touchdowns by long runs, kicked three goals from touchdowns and two goals from the field. Daly also made some long runs after catching punts...
