Every part of yesterday's practice was marred by fumbling. In the preliminary work, Coach :Lewis instructed the men in dropping on the ball, but the result was most unsatisfactory. The players were very uncertain in securing the ball, and in, twenty minutes of signal practice the first eleven fumbled four times. The first and second were line, up against each other for a few minutes in order to give Hallowell practice in kicking with men breaking through on him. None of the punts were blocked, but in catching them there was much fumbling. Sargent's passing for kicks...

Attempts to correct this fault were made early in the season, and it is very discouraging to have it crop out now. The overeagerness of the forwards also cost Harvard the possession of the ball at critical times. Daly's generalship was open to criticism. He undoubtedly put dash into the team, and, as an individual player, was brilliant...
...happen this year and the physical perfection of the players exists now as it did a year ago. The small teams and even the Indians have been powerless against the Harvard eleven. The weak points which are now apparent are minor ones which can not be factors in the result of today's game...
