...strong Brown eleven which played such a remarkable game against Yale last Wednesday. The 'Varsity will be made up of a large number of substitutes, as Moulton, Donald, Sawin and Warren are still in a convalescent stage. In spite of injuries Swain and Sullivan will both begin the game, although it is hardly possible that they will last through...
...rushed to the 10-yard line only to be lost on downs. The line-men may deserve some censure for a lack of aggressiveness at such critical stages. Otherwise the line was strong in spite of the number of substitutes played. None of Newton's punts were blocked, although several times the fullback was prevented from kicking by many of the line-men rushing through. Swain and Mills both protected their territory in splendid style, the tandem plays through Swain gaining in almost every instance. Wheeler, who replaced Swain the second half, proved a vulnerable point in the Harvard line...
...backs showed some improvement, although the interference at times was lamentably weak. Sawin was most unfortunate in being called upon for gains around the end when he practically had to run unprotected. Warren and Cabot played the best game for Harvard. Warren bucked the line with a great deal of force, punted well, and was sure on catching kicks. He is a fast and hard runner, as was clearly demonstrated when he picked up the ball on a fumble and left the whole field behind him for a run of 40 yards to the goal line...
...best work done by the first eleven. Sawin made several good runs, got into the plays with a great deal of life and tackled fiercely. Warren was tried at fullback and showed up fairly well. On both sides there was a lamentable lack of interference, and although the playing was sharp and hard, there was not enough method in the running of the backs. Garrison went in at quarter during the last few minutes of play and succeeded in livening the men up considerably. He tackled strongly and helped his backs very materially in the interference...
...there appeared an article stating that Harvard was not following the style of rowing taught by Mr. Lehmann and that the rigging on the boats had even been changed from English methods. This statement is absolutely false, Mr. Lehmann's teachings are being followed as closely as possible and although swivel locks instead of whole pins are being used on the four-oared shells, four-oared shells are never rigged otherwise in England...
