...Freshmen eleven showed up very strongly in the game with Pennsylvania on Saturday which was won by the score of 52 to 0. From the start the visitors were outclassed and at no time was Harvard's goal in danger. The U. of P. freshmen were able to make but one gain on a "fake" around right end, and held Harvard but once on downs. They have been greatly handicapped throughout the season by the light weight of their whole eleven and by the fact that a sufficient number of candidates did not turn out to form a scrub...
...first half, Harvard's play was very slow, a fault which was increased by a marked tendency of the backs to start before the ball was put in play. This weakness, which may have been partly due to the absence of the regular quarter, delayed the play and probably reduced the final score. Hallowell played a good game at quarter, running especially well on the kick-offs, but he relied too much upon the centre plays during the first half. Though Pennsylvania's centre was very weak, the tackle and guard plays did not gain so much...
...work of the backs was strong and sure, excepting the inclination to start before the ball was snapped back. Though playing a good defensive game, White was injured before he had an opportunity to do much ground gaining. Kendall, who took his place, played a low, hard game and with but one exception never failed to gain his distance. Hawkins, who was substituted for Kendall in the last few minutes of the game, was given no chance to show his capabilities as a ground gainer. At fullback, Reid showed up well both in punting and rushing with the ball...
...races of the 'Varsity four-oared shells were rowed Saturday afternoon under the most unfavorable conditions possible. By the time scheduled for the start a strong head wind had arisen, blowing somewhat off the wall on the Beacon street side, and the basin was lashed into a high running sea, which threatened to swamp the boats at any minute. It was almost dark when the crews after much maneuvering finally managed to get into position. Crew No. 4, J. F. Perkins '99, captain had the course nearest the wall; crew No. 3, H. M. Adams '98, captain, was next; crew...
...race of the 'Varsity fours will be rowed this afternoon at 4.30 over the lower half of the class crew course in the Charles River basin. The start will be made off the Union Boat Club and the finish will be off the Fenway, about 200 yards above the Harvard Bridge...
