...down Pratt passed the ball poorly, and while Smalley was trying to find it, Fearing picked it up, ran 45 yards and scored; goal. Score 38-6. Good tackling by Heard and Hallowell enabled Harvard to get the ball soon after it had been put in play. It was almost immediately lost for offside play. Blanchard secured it again directly, only to have Fearing fumble it and lose it to Morse. After four unsuccessful attempts to gain ground Amherst resigned the ball to Harvard, and Corbett carried it 45 yards; Lake had but one to gain to secure a touchdown...
...played with snap. The seniors on the other hand played wretchedly. There was no team work, snap nor skill. The men paid too much attention to their opponents and too little to the ball. Whenever a man gained anything he did so entirely by his own efforts, there being almost always nobody near to back him up. Weld played a good game at full-back and Harris rushed with energy but with small headwork. The rush line work was miserable. Some of the men in it were out of condition and the others did not know how to play...
...Dallinger, '93, opened the affirmative side of the resolution that "the action of the majority in the present House of Representatives merits the endorsement of the country." From 1860 to 1888 the Republican party, he said, had almost absolute control of all branches of government. They were elected by an open suppression of the Republican vote, and while in power did practically nothing. The 51st Congress met in 1888 with the resolution of the Democrats that they would not pass a bill favored by the Republicans. Only by the energy of Speaker Reed have they accomplished what they...
...their obligation to the class to come out regularly and work steadily. It is unjust to the rest of the men on the team for some men to come out one day and not the next, and it is hard on the captain to have them practice irregularly and almost indifferently. He has found it necessary already to drop some men on account of irregular work, and the rest should realize that their only chance of winning the class championship lies in hard, systematic work. The men must not feel sure of the championship because of the good showing...
Dartmouth began well when the ball was put in play, Norton carrying it some distance into the Harvard territory; he could not keep it up, however, and the ball came to Harvard on four downs. The ball was given to Corbett, but he was almost immediately tackled; he succeeded in passing the ball to Trofford, however, and he carried it ahead 20 yards. Lee then made a good dodging run around the end and gained a great deal of ground. He was hurt when tackled, but resumed his place after a short rest. Short rushes by Lake and Corbett carried...
