...prospects for this year's cricket team are just as bright as they have been for the past two years, in which Harvard won the intercollegiate championship. All of last year's team, with the exception of Haughton and Scattergood, and most of the substitutes are back again this fall. To offset the loss of these two players, Towery, captain of the Haverford team, will play for Harvard next spring. There will be no fall practice, but directly after Christmas work will begin in the cage in the Gymnasium. Several of the men have been playing during the summer with...
...whole, the practice of yesterday showed general improvement over the play in the Bowdoin game. Especially noticeable was the brace taken by the backs in the last five minutes of the practice. They put all possible energy into their running, started with the ball, not after it, and in bucking the line kept low. The linemen also made a stride forward by getting the start on their opponents and charging them back into their own territory. The result was the more gratifying, in the sense that the men thus responded to the efforts of the coaches to show the importance...

...next kick-off. Sharp work by Ristine, Hallowell and Swain, and a fumble by Upton gave Harvard the ball on Bowdoin's forty-yard line. Gierasch and Reid rushed the ball down the field, and Warren crossed the line with the ball, but off-side play called him back and the ball went to Bowdoin. On Webb's wild pass for a kick the ball rolled over the line and Upton was forced to make a safety. Twice again Harvard seemed about to score, when off-side play gave the ball to Bowdoin...
...Lewis L. S. '95, and J. Cranston '91. Although the men are picking up points every day from the coaches, they do not seem to apply them in the line-up. In Dibblee's absence, J. L. Knox '98 and J. A. Sullivan '97 looked after the backs and the punting. Except for some work of Reid's after the baseball practice was over, the kicking was decidedly mediocre. Sawin and Hallowell have good form, but their punts lack distance. R. Lawrence, half-back on last year's Freshman team, was out yesterday for the first time this season...
