...come, however. In 1882 the belt was introduced, by means of which the strain on the rope was made constant, and could be increased permanently at the will of either anchor. At present it is the object of both teams to drop as quickly as possible, the best teams giving a heave as they go down, and gaining several inches thereby. There are two ways of lying on the ropes, but all Harvard men pull with one leg across the rope, and the body resting on one side. The back is kept straight and most of the heave is made...
...base-running. Kellogg, '87S, and Osborn, '88S., change catchers, and change fielders, who played last year, are not rated very high. Kellogg has the making of an excellent outfielder, but could never stand the pounding Stagg would give him; Osborn has the making of a good catcher, is fearless, quick motioned, and fully able to hold Stagg. He would be out of his element in the left field, but would make a good first baseman, which position he creditably filled for the grammar school nine. Both Kellogg and Osborn are unreliable batters and will need plenty of practice. The full...
Boyden opened the second half by a short run, but Holden lost ground by Yale breaking through at the centre. Holden is tackled and passes to Peabody for a kick, but Yale is too quick for him and Harvard loses fifteen yards by this play. Peabody kicked up the field and Watkinson returned it with a "twister" which Peabody misjudged, thus allowing Gill to make the first touchdown of the second half. Goal. Carter hurt and Buchanan takes his place. Holden makes a short run and kicks to Watkinson. The ball is passed to Gill who gets way through...
...safety, and just before time was called Woodman made a touchdown, from which there was not time to kick a goal. Score, 24 to 0. The second half showed a marked improvement. The fellows braced up, and played with more snap, and the work in the centre was quick and good. The result was a better looking score. Porter was playing in great shape, and time and again he carried the ball almost to the Technology line, knocking off the Technology rushers in great shape. Holden, too, was running well. Harding made two touchdowns, Porter two, Holden two, and Dudley...
...must be given. At times it was remarkably good, but then again the most glaring faults were made evident and the same errors repeated in two or three successive plays. Great improvement must be made in this particular before either Harvard or Princeton are met. Such teams will be quick to follow up the advantage obtained with most disasterous results to Yale. Princeton has a rush line equal to our own if not better, so that the game with her will have to be won by the superior work of our backs. It is easy to see then, how important...
