...little later in the first half, when Carlisle's was held for downs on the five-yard line and from that time on Carlisle's gains became less. This was one of the encouraging features in Harvard's playing. A similar, although not so great a change, took place in the team work. Carlisle had an advantage in the concerted playing of its entire eleven until the middle of the second half. From that time on however, Harvard's interference improved steadily...
...ball quickly, stopped several plays from behind and prevented gains around his end. His playing was better than that of Hallowell, who since his injury has been unable to play his position well. Eaton was a little weak at his position in defense, and Graydon, who took his place, could open no holes. The guards and centre were slow and barely held their ground against lighter men. Daly hesitated noticeably in running in the open field and was a little slow at times, but his interference for the backs was the best he has yet done. Devens and Kendall could...
...were unable to gain, and Stillman and Wheelock began a series of punts. Stillman's punts were longer than Wheelock's but Roberts ran them back so much that Harvard steadily lost ground. This lasted until seven minutes before the end of the game. Then Kernan took Putnam's place, and by heady running began to get through Carlisle's line for gains. After an exchange of punts Harvard got the ball on the forty-five yard line. It then seemed that Harvard could do no better than make a tie. On the next play, however, Kernan broke through...
Kernan was now hurt and Swann took his place. He, like Kernan, made use of his interference, and on his first play, soon after the kick-off, circled right end for thirty-five yards. He and Stillman carried the ball ten yards further, but Stillman fumbled on the twenty-five yard line. Carlisle tried to punt, but Bowditch broke through, blocked the punt and got the ball. Swann and Stillman then took it through the line to within two yards of the goal, and Swann finally plunged through the line for the touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked the goal...
...four graded crews of the Weld Boat Club are now fairly well settled although the orders of the third and fourth vary a little from day to day. The first and second are rowing as they were a week ago except that Snite yesterday took Shuebruk's place at 4 in the first boat as the latter is sick. The first and second Freshman boats are also practically settled, with the exception of one or two places, most of the men on each boat having rowed for some time in their present order. The first is rowing well...
