Wheeler and Haughton strengthen the tackles, and with Cabot on left end and Captain Wrightington behind the line, the team should make the best showing of the year...
...Club and the Freshman team was a most onesided affair. The Freshman line held beautifully, so that with the exception of one 25 yard run Worcester Athletic was at no time able to make their five yards. The '00 backs also put up a strong game, making long runs behind good interference. In this respect the Freshmen were especially superior to W. A.

Behind the line, Baird through his punting and Smith through his accurate passing, interference and clever head-work were invaluable...

Swain and Lee, especially the former, supposed to be the weak spots on the team, put up creditable games against their heavier and more experienced adversaries. Behind the line, Dunlop and Sullivan did the best work, gaining nearly all of Harvard's ground through tackles and between end and tackle...
