Burnett did well at centre and was very quick in following the ball. On the defensive, except for not meeting the play squarely, he was very effective in stopping plays. His worst fault is in standing too high. In the practice before the game, his place-kicks were remarkable for distance and accuracy, but in the game he missed the only try he had for goal...
...enabling Dibblee to give all his time to the backfield. B. G. Waters '94 coached the tackles, and W. H. Lewis L.S. '95 the centres, G. W. Bouve '98 the guards, and N. Cabot '98 with F. W.

He ran through signals, however, to prepare for Saturday's game...
Bates developed a fair offensive game, and except for slowness in giving the signals and in starting the back field played well. A double pass, Stinchfield to Richardson, was worked successfully several times. Only the sure tackling of Sawin and Ristine prevented Bates from scoring twice...

Campbell and Hallowell, although they played well at times, allowed the second eleven backs to get past them twice for runs of twenty or thirty yards. Except for these runs, the defensive work of the first eleven was perfect...
...University eleven, with substitutes, left Cambridge yesterday afternoon for the game with West Point today. In addition to the twenty-three men who were mentioned in the CRIMSON yesterday, Daly went with the team and will probably play in the first half.

Although West Point does not seem to have as good a team as in previous years, it will be the first strong one Harvard has met this season, and the game will be some criterion of the ability of the eleven...
