...absence of Daly, and in part to the irregularity of the backs in starting, was a fault which can be corrected only with the use of more care by the backs in taking their positions. Any advantage Bowdoin had through the aggressiveness of her backs, was more than offset by her weakness in punting. Not only was the centre-rush inaccurate in passing the ball, but the few punts Upton was able to make went barely twenty-five yards. Superior though Harvard was in this respect, the kicking on her side was by no means satisfactory...
...pitching and fielding, Reid for his catching and batting. Hayes had absolute control over the ball with very good curves and speed. He gave no bases on balls and struck nine men out. Though the nine played with an encouraging amount of dash in the field, this was offset by its weak batting-the team seemed to refuse all chance of offensive play. Of the four hits made by Harvard, two were scratch hits. While the team has with one or two exceptions done well in the field, to finish the season well the nine must take the offensive...

McBride is party excusable for his poor kicking the first half, when his position so near the line enabled the Harvard forwards to break through on him repeatedly. During the first half Haughton kicked beautifully and did much to offset for Harvard the disadvantage of having to buck against the wind. In the second, with a high wind and wonderful protection on punts favoring him, his punts were shorter and less well placed. His catching was also rather uncertain and his running lacked method and decision...
...first important one on the Freshman schedule; yet there was but a mere handful of spectators. The eleven can hardly be blamed for not playing a good game when they had not enough supporters to raise an effective cheer. They have difficulties of their own, which should be offset by the hearty support of their classmates, rather than added to by the lack of it. A privilege is granted the class in allowing it to represent the University in intercollegiate contests; and it is its duty in return to do everything in its power to send out winning teams. Every...
