...Roome is especially useful in helping along the runner. Levine and Flinn are powerful fullbacks, but the latter's defensive game is rather weak.

...linemen, many gains were made between Kersburg and Squires. Brill and Squires were the most reliable ground-gainers for Harvard, and used with success a new tackleback formation. Harrison was by far the best defensive back, and time and again was effective by stopping plays which had broken through weak places in the line.

Nesmith, who has been playing right halfback regularly, had a small bone in his leg broken and will be unable to play for some time, possibly not again this season. Newhall's shoulder was wrenched in the first half but he was able to finish out the period. Starr, who replaced him in the second half, put more life into the team and varied his plays...

...very hard. During the week the games with Springfield Training School and Holy Cross showed great improvements in the team. In both games the plays were executed with great quickness and were remarkably free from fumbling. Jones, the freshman candidate for quarterback, made two wonderful runs through a broken field...
