...effective player. He is exceedingly slow, but his better defensive ability, although coupled with an almost entire lack of aggressiveness, has made him more valuable than Wright. Knowlton, at right tackle, plays his position with a fair amount of judgment, but is often misled in regard to where the attack is directed and has a tendency at times to play high. At guard, A. Marshall is a man of good physique and has had considerable experience, but from his lack of watchfulness and fight seems often to take an indifferent part in the play. The team has been unfortunate...
...Seniors defeated the Sophomores yesterday, by the score of 18 to 0, thus winning the interclass championship for the fourth consecutive time. The game, which was hard fought throughout, was won by the Seniors' superior attack and team-work. Their formation and dive plays were run with great effectiveness and advanced the ball steadily by gains of from five to ten yards. Pier ran his team with good judgment and the plays with remarkable steadiness from beginning...
...teams was very loose and was characterized by frequent fumbling and a long succession of penalties for offside play and interference. The Freshman team played sluggishly on the defense, and were unable to take advantage of their opponents' frequent fumbling.

The work of Metcalf of the Freshmen, and Dall of the Sophomores, was conspicuously good; the former for his excellent punting, and the latter for his fast end running...
...within 8 yards of the goal. Two short gains brought the ball to the 2-yard line and a touchdown seemed imminent, but Graydon fumbled and Dartmouth secured the ball on the 5-yard line. The tables were then turned and the three Dartmouth backs started their irresistable attack on Harvard's guards and tackles. Play after play was hurled into the line with the result that by gains of from 2 to 10 yards the ball was very soon landed in the opposite end of the field and a score for Dartmouth seemed almost as certain...
...game immediately took on a new aspect, and from being regarded as a sure victory for Harvard it was seen that a defeat would be exceedingly hard to avoid. This impression was strengthened a moment after the next kick-off, when the Dartmouth backs again began their fierce attack. Aided by penalties and a 25 yards run by Vaughan, they carried the ball down to Harvard's 25-yard line before they met with any show of resistance. Bowditch broke up a play around his end and the subsequent loss enabled Harvard to obtain the ball on downs. Kernan fumbled...
