...practice yesterday was hard and satisfactory. In spite of the slippery condition of the field, no one was hut. The wet ball, however, aggravated the old habit of fumbling. Daly and Hallowell were again in the game, but did not play throughout the practice. Fincke again played well, but is of course below the standard of Daly. The whole team tackled poorly, and failed to follow the ball, and the backs were still slow. The forwards, however, started more quickly than on Monday. The line will soon be in its final shape with Boal able to play. He will take...
...fifteen minutes, and secured a lead of twelve points that the Sophomores could not overcome. During the rest of the game 1903 was on the defensive, and by the splendid punting of Stillman, prevented their opponents from scoring. The latter, by vigorous rushing with the tackles, often ran the ball well into the Freshman territory, but lost it by fumbling at critical times. The 1903 team was able to make few gains by rushing the ball. In the second half neither side scored a touchdown. Late in the half, however, Lovering kicked a pretty goal from the field from...
...Freshmen scored their first touchdown from the twenty-five yard line, and Stillman kicked a difficult goal. A few minutes later Ladd plunged through centre and was tackled when Stillman secured the ball and ran it across the line for the second touchdown...

All three of the touchdowns were well-merited by 1900, who had the advantage of a heavier team on a slippery field. Slowly but steadily the Seniors advanced the ball, about the middle of the first half, from the centre of the field to within a yard or two of 1901's goal line. On the third down, Shaw broke through the centre for the remaining short distance. Continued hammering in the same half also brought about the second touchdown, which Lowrie...
...Seniors deserved to win. Not only was their team heavier and the handling of the ball cleaner, but their playing was far more aggressive than 1901's. Of the plays that were tried, the guards-back formation worked most successfully, especially when Shaw took the ball. On a double-pass to quarterback, Hatch once made seven or eight yards. Gains were also frequently made through the line because the forwards, by starting before their opponents, usually succeeded in charging them back and opening up holes for the runner. Although the backs never supported the runner any too well, individually they...
