...practice yesterday was a decided improvement over that of Thursday. In spite of the fact that a new combination of substitute backs was tried the first eleven not only scored but kept the ball entirely in the second team's territory. This was due almost entirely to the steady and strong playing of the men in the line, who seemed to have profitted greatly by the hard coaching on Thursday. The guards and tackles easily broke up the second eleven's line for the backs and in the defence concentrated their efforts at the point of attack to great advantage...
...eleven defeated Amherst yesterday afternoon by a score of 18 to 0. Fumbles and carelessness at critical points in the game, partly due to the rain and the consequent muddy field, prevented a larger score. Much of the fumbling was due to carelessness, however, and the team was slow at the times when a little fast work was especially needed. The handling of punts was very accurate, the backs making no fumbles and usually succeeding in getting a good start before being downed. The most exciting feature of the game was Amherst's near approach to scoring...
...playing of the first eleven was much the same as in the Bowdoin game. The backs could gain fairly well around the ends, but could make only short distances through the line. This was due partly to the slow starting of the runners and partly to the failure of the linemen to keep the holes open. The defensive work was better, and the second eleven was unable to gain any ground whatever. There was some improvement in running back the kick-offs, as the interference formed quickly and the runners stuck to it well. The entire team was considerably affected...
...similar to that of the day before. Donovan was assisted in the coaching by some of the older rowing men, who took seats in the boats with the Freshmen. Many of the candidates have not rowed before, and the material as a whole is rather light, which is probably due to the fact that the heavier men are playing football. The crews are being coached particularly on time, a hard leg drive, and on shooting away the hands quickly. The following men assisted in the coaching: A. W. Stevens '97, R. F. Blake '99, W. B. Wheelwright '01, G. Blake...
...gaining when in their opponents' territory, owing to the plucky defensive work of the second eleven. The interference was still slow and weak except on three or four occasions, but even here traces of improvement could be found. There was still a weakness in the centre of the line due to the new men being tried there...
