...kicking" is allowed; no player "up," that is to say, may kick the ball hard; he must "run it down," or "dribble it," as the phrase goes elsewhere than at Eton, keeping it as much between his feet as possible. To see a skilled player do this at top speed, winding in and out among his opponents, with the ball never more than a foot or two away from him, is a pretty sight, and it is prettier still to watch him "running it down the line" with all the players crowding round him on the watch for a "rouge...
...through by Harvard with Brooks in the lead, forced the ball up the field, only to have it returned by Moffat's powerful kicking. Loose work by Harvard ensued and Harris rushed the ball through and made the last touchdown, from which a goal was kicked. Another burst of speed by the Harvard rushers carried the ball well towards the Princeton end, where Moffat's kicking again came into play to relieve his side. It was at about this time that the crowd persisted in enroaching on the limits of the field, and hampering the players when the ball...
...always unguarded. These excuses are urgent; but yet we must admit that the misplays are oftener due to the inaccurate passing or the inability of the men to catch the ball under trying circumstances, for example, when three or four men are bearing down upon them at full speed. Another fault common to the eleven is that of failing to back up the man who is running with the ball. There has been very little passing this year by the rushers owing to this very fault. The end rushers are especially guilty in this particular. Falling on the ball...
...life and real snap than has been seen here for years. The passing among the forwards id loose, as of course it must be for the first few weeks, but is brilliant and effective in the extreme. And some of the forwards, notably Phillips and Gilman, have developed a speed in running that surprised us all. We could easily full spece with praises, but our purpose today it criticism and censure. This we hope the team will take in good part. We do not claim to be infallible in our judgment, and we may be wrong or unduly severe...
...they have the down quite as much as he might-se Twombly's play of last year. In making a long pass to a back who is to run, he should try to pass the ball far enough ahead of the back so that he will be at full speed when he catches the ball. Holden's best rush in the game Saturday before last, and Mason's rush in the Princeton game two years ago, were both done in this way. It amounts to reducing to nothing the time required for a long pass ; the opponents don't have...
