...time was spent on the tackle plays and tackles back formation. The lineup has been changed a little since the Worcester game. Taylor and Hawkins played the ends, while Brayton played left guard and Burnett took his place at left tackle. Hallowell is still playing at quarter, though there is still some chance of Daly's being out in time for the Yale game. Reid is still nursing a bad elbow, and Jaynes played his position...
Yesterday afternoon, the Freshman eleven was defeated by Worcester Academy 18 to 6. Outside the class games, this is the first defeat the Freshmen have received, and though virtually a stronger team, they were beaten on account of fumbling and the general lifelessness of their play. From the start, the Worcester eleven played a strong, fast game, which seemed to rattle the Freshmen, and it was not until the second half that Harvard was able to score. All the touchdowns were made between Harvard's left end and tackle, and this side of the team is to blame...
...defensive. On the offensive, the chief fault was the fumbling behind the line which in great part accounted for Harvard's small score. Spear at left tackle played a brilliant game for Worcester, and to his strong playing are due the three touchdowns scored against the Freshmen. Though the eleven alone is to blame for this defeat, the team is a strong one, and with a week's practice before it, should improve...
...offensive. For substitute end, Richardson has been doing good work. In spite of his light weight he seems to break up or sift through interference and is always at the right spot. Bull has been showing up well as an end, tackling fiercely and running hard and well, though showing greenness and tackling too high. Graydon tackles well but is nursing an injury, and Lewis, though first-rate on following the ball, often overruns his man and misses tackles...
...tackle Donald has done as good work as his condition permits. He is heady, reliable, and a decidedly good tackle. Swain, though the lightest candidate, has shown good quality of work throughout the year. He is aggressive, tackles hard and accurately and runs fairly well with the ball. Wheeler is gaining all the time. He puts up a fierce game and would be invaluable but for his tendency to get offside. He also uses his arms too freely in blocking. Mills, who has the capacity of making one of the best football players in college, mars his brilliant work...
