...history of Harvard College written by Samuel A. Eliot of the class of 1817, and published in 1848. The book is a small octavo of 190 pages and is entitled "A Sketch of the History of Harvard College and of its Present State." The value of the book is due chiefly to its appendix, which contains chronological lists, down to 1848, of legislative grants, donations from individuals and societies, and gifts of real estate from individuals and the town of Cambridge; and a map of the Yard, showing the original parcels of land from which it was made...
...game, in spite of their ragged playing. Their interference formed loosely, started slowly and aided the runner little. The runners failed to charge at the line with any force and did not keep their feet. The failure of the ends to get down under punts quickly was perhaps partly due to the repeated holding by their opponents. There was a great deal of fumbling and off-side play on both sides...
Harvard's playing was marked by a great deal of fumbling and carelessness. Two fumbles were made within 5 yards of Brown's line, and several others in other parts of the field. The gains made by Harvard were due principally to excellent individual work rather than to team play. The interference formed well and worked effectively, and the runners had little difficulty in keeping their feet. Although playing against weak and inexperienced opponents, the Harvard team showed considerable dash and spirit...
...practice yesterday showed a slight improvement. The first eleven played more spiritedly and was able to gain repeatedly through the line, but fumbled considerably. The gains were, however, due to individual efforts rather than team play. In the preliminary work the linemen were given practice in tackling, warding off and dodging, while the ends and backs went through signal practice. Campbell was out and coached the men but did not play. Bowditch did light work only. He is getting into good condition and will be able to play next week. Randolph, Robinson, Sugden, Meier, J. T. Jones, and Wright...
...worst form of the season at quarterback. Besides running off the plays in a listless, uncertain way, he fumbled five passes from the centre and was unable to steady the team for offensive work. Kernan and Ristine did not keep their feet, but their failure to gain was partially due to the weakness of the rest of the team. Graydon and Mifflin were equally ineffective at line plunging, both of them falling usually at the first obstacle. Kernan showed some improvement in punting, and gained on every exchange, even when the wind was against him. His punts, however, were...
