...three o'clock this afternoon the University eleven will play Amherst, the last one of the easier games on the schedule. Although comparative scores are generally of little value, yet some idea, of the relative strengths of Harvard and Yale may be gathered from the results of the two games. A week ago Yale defeated Amherst by the score of 23 to 0. As the Harvard eleven will go into the game handicapped only by the absence of Reid, Burden, and Eaton, there is no reason why this score should not be considerably exceeded...
...second eleven was given the ball half the time to test the first eleven. With the possible exception of right end, which was weakened by the absence of Hallowell, there was no place in the line where the second made consistent gains. The tackles were much improved. J. Lawrence, although against weaker opponents than on Saturday, was much steadier than usual, and proved he had not lost his aggressiveness by blocking one of the second eleven's kicks.

...whose injuries have been keeping them out of the practice lately, Eaton, Daly and Campbell will be back in the game on Monday. Although Reid will not be allowed to play for some time yet, the injury to his leg is not so serious as was first supposed. Hurley, whose brilliant rushing will be much missed by the second eleven, sprained his ankle in the last play yesterday. The players, on the whole, are, however, passing that period in training when they are susceptible to injuries, and should soon be able to play longer and harder halves, and then...
