...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...
...showing of the nine in yesterday's game seems to have been satisfactory in every way. The men went into the game with a rush and succeeded in keeping their gait both in batting and fielding.

His rowing is long and at the same time snappy. The three...
