...University eleven defeated Wesleyan Saturday afternoon by the score of 20 to 0. Fifteen and ten minute halves were played. The victory showed unlooked for strength on the part of the substitutes behind the line, but was attended by some serious faults. The twenty points Harvard was able to score were gained more by brilliant individual work by the half-backs than by any superiority in team-work. At times the Wesleyan backs made long gains through the line and especially through the tackles which are still the weakest points in the line...
...Behind the line, the situation is giving less concern. In order to save himself for the more important games of the next two weeks, Captain McBride has not entered the recent practice. Sharpe, who has been Yale's best ground-gainer so far this season, and who will do all the drop-kicking, is playing left halfback. For the other halfback position, there are several prominent candidates. As Sharpe and McBride both weigh over 180 pounds, a lighter man for end-circling has been sought and found in Kiefer. Against the smaller colleges he has shown fine ability to score...
...features were introduced in the preliminary practice. Coach Lewis so arranged the tackling of the dummy for the line-men as to give them experience in the direct tackling which they will get in games. To this was added some tackling from behind, which proved very advantageous, especially to the new men. Dibblee devoted a large part of his time to showing the backs how to handle themselves in interference. As was proved by the Bowdoin game, the backs are still apt to be careless about taking their proper positions, and about starting simultaneously with the ball. N. W. Cabot...
...playing itself was long and hard. Punting was purposely tried but with varying results. Both Hallowell and Reid were frequently outpunted by R. Lawrence of the second. Not till the last part of the practice, did the 'Varsity, giving up punting, actually score. Behind excellent interference, Gierasch cleared Gray's end for a twenty-yard run to the line. A minute later, Warren, who fell into dive plays with his old-time vim, scored the second touchdown. Lawrence's goal from the field resulted soon afterwards from Fincke's fair catch on the thirty-yard line...
...spirited, and while the batting was very weak, the fielding was excellent. Of the pitchers, P. N. Coburn '02, made the best showing. He had speed and very fair control, striking out men in every inning which he pitched. Of the new men, F. Jacques '03, caught well behind the bat, and made a number of good stops of low balls and pick-ups. H. Keene '01, made the best play of the day by stopping a line hit to right field, and getting his man out at first...
