...same plan of attack was pursued as in the smaller games. After the first few minutes had proved that Harvard could score around the cadets' weak ends, every other time the ball came into Harvard's possession, the backs were sent into the line. The practice thus gained was of special value, as line plays and not end plays are of most avail against the strong teams to come. In the first part of the game the West Point line forced Harvard to exert every effort to gain by these straight dive plays, but as they weakened in the second...
Harvard scored in two minutes of play. After two exchanges of kicks in Harvard's favor, Daly caught Ennis's punt and ran to West Point's thirty-yard line. Gains through the line took the ball to the fifteen yard line, and then Sawin scored on an end play. During the remainder of the half, Harvard scored a second time by steady gains through the opposing line. At no time was the Harvard goal in danger. In the second half, by the same line-bucking tactics, Harvard secured the ball several times on West Point's ten-yard line...
There are two routes to the Newton grounds. The batter is to take a Harvard Bridge car to Beacon street, change to Newton Boulevard car and ride to the end of the line, change to Commonwealth Avenue car which goes past the entrance to the grounds. Time, 45 minutes. To go by the second route, take a Newton car at Harvard square and ride to Nonantum square, Newton; change-to car for Newtonville; change at Newtonville for Newton Centre or Highlands to Walnut street. Walk three-eighths of a mile to the grounds. Time 50 minutes
...line-ups in practice, the defense of the Harvard eleven is, for this time of year, reasonably strong. In yesterday's practice of fifteen minutes the second eleven was given the ball half the time to test the first eleven. With the possible exception of right end, which was weakened by the absence of Hallowell, there was no place in the line where the second made consistent gains. The tackles were much improved. J. Lawrence, although against weaker opponents than on Saturday, was much steadier than usual, and proved he had not lost his aggressiveness by blocking...
...spite of the running of Hare and McCracken from the guards back formation, the University of Pennsylvania eleven could only tie Brown in the game at Providence on Saturday, 6 to 6. As a result of Outland's fumble, Cuddy, Brown's left end, picked up the ball and scored on a thirty yard run. U. of P. also scored her six points in the first half. In nearly every feature but line-bucking Pennsylvania's play was at least approximated by that of her opponent. Her back's, Reugenberg and Coombs, showed very little superiority in punting over Bates...
