...will be furnished by the members of last year's Freshman team, and of these E. P. Miller, forward, H. T. Webber, guard, and F. Wellmann, centre, will make the competition fast. It has not been decided whether or not the team will have the services of a professional coach this season. If one is allowed, D. J. Prior, Brown '08, and a former. All-New England guard will be appointed...
Starting at the beginning of the season with what seemed to be even poorer material than usual, Coach Haughton has developed a team, which, although it has progressed somewhat slowly, is now as good, if not the best team that Harvard has had in several years. In the early part of its schedule against the Maine teams the first eleven had little trouble in winning, and in fact had no really hard opponents until the Navy game, when it was outplayed completely.

He has improved with every game, become a safer man in the backfield, and has been depended upon for the greater part of the punting since Burr was injured. Last Saturday...
...Brown '98, a former coach of the second team, and M. L. Newhall '08, for two years quarterback on the University eleven, arrived today and aided in the coaching. It is still doubtful whether or not Captain Burr will be in condition to start the game Saturday. He went to New Haven in the morning and practiced punts, but his arm is still weak. The men who remained in Farmington took a long walk in the morning, and in the afternoon practiced kicking and had a short signal practice at the Country Club. There will be a short signal practice...
