...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...
...injuries have been keeping them out of the practice lately, Eaton, Daly and Campbell will be back in the game on Monday. Although Reid will not be allowed to play for some time yet, the injury to his leg is not so serious as was first supposed. Hurley, whose brilliant rushing will be much missed by the second eleven, sprained his ankle in the last play yesterday. The players, on the whole, are, however, passing that period in training when they are susceptible to injuries, and should soon be able to play longer and harder halves, and then fit themselves...

...will be Overfield's substitute at centre, and by Rengenberg, who started to play left end but recently has made a better impression as a full-back. For the other three positions there seems to be a host of good material. Howell's work, in particular, is so brilliant that it is expected he will develop into one of the best ends U. of P. has ever had. Snover and Stehle, too, are doing well at the tackles. All three of these men have played in the first two games of the season, and have shown promising ability...
...rest of the back field played strongly, especially Gierasch and Parker. The former was very quick on his feet, and by carefully following his interference, made some brilliant long runs around Williams's left end. Daly ran the team well and found no trouble in eluding the Williams's forwards by clever dodging. Fincke, who took his place in the last five minutes, played in much better form that last season, and was particularly effective in the interference. Both Reid and Sawin struck the line hard and the latter did some good punting...
