Harvard scored after a few minutes of play. An exchange of punts in Harvard's favor and short and sharp rushes brought the ball to the twenty-five yard line. Fifteen yards by Parker around the end and short line plunges enabled Kendall to make a touchdown. Lawrence kicked the goal. Superiority in punting again made a score possible. Devens returned the kick-off and Wesleyan began to rush. Twice they gained through Lawrence and then punted to Kendall on the ten yard line. Kendall next cleared the end for twenty-five yards and Hallowell punted. On the return punt...
...football coaches at Yale have recently been striving to strengthen the rush-line. Brown at left guard seems to be the most reliable man, and Thomas at left end approaches him in form. Cunha, centre on last year's freshman team, is practically sure of that position on the 'varsity this fall, for McConnell has already proved too light for the big college games. H. Brown is looked upon to fill right guard in spite of his light weight and inexperience. Leary, who was tackle last year, is being tried in the position, but is also too light and will...
...practice. Sharpe, who has been Yale's best ground-gainer so far this season, and who will do all the drop-kicking, is playing left halfback. For the other halfback position, there are several prominent candidates. As Sharpe and McBride both weigh over 180 pounds, a lighter man for end-circling has been sought and found in Kiefer. Against the smaller colleges he has shown fine ability to score. Adams, of last year's freshman team, and Shattuck, substitute on the '98 'varsity, are two other light men whose work has been very satisfactory. Fincke is first choice for quarterback...
...right tackle on the first eleven in Lawrence's place. He is a valuable man on the defense and has an aggressive style of play. The success of Sawin at left half necessitated the playing of Warren at fullback. All these changes and the presence of a weak left end, degenerated the offensive play of the first eleven to such an extent that only one touchdown was scored. The soft ground and the slippery ball also aided the second eleven by breaking up the interference of the first and eliminating what has been the reliance for long runs...
...itself was long and hard. Punting was purposely tried but with varying results. Both Hallowell and Reid were frequently outpunted by R. Lawrence of the second. Not till the last part of the practice, did the 'Varsity, giving up punting, actually score. Behind excellent interference, Gierasch cleared Gray's end for a twenty-yard run to the line. A minute later, Warren, who fell into dive plays with his old-time vim, scored the second touchdown. Lawrence's goal from the field resulted soon afterwards from Fincke's fair catch on the thirty-yard line...
