...play. The backing-up is, perhaps, the best feature of the work at present. In this, the effect of good coaching is especially apparent, great stress being laid upon the principle of having the fielders anticipate the play, and help each other out. The base running is rather poor, except in a few individual cases. Most of the men are inclined to be reckless, using no headwork, and lacking the quickness of decision necessary to good base-running. The batting is very weak, although the pitchers do not use great speed, nor many curves...
...four of the Harvard ends played a splendid game. As there was never any necessity for punting, they had little chance for individual work except on the kick-offs when Daly usually returned the kick. In every case the Amherst back was downed for a loss and often with such force that he dropped the ball.

...half-backs except Gierasch were given chances to play. Warren at fullback and Sawin at quarter are of course only temporary changes, because of slight injuries to the substitutes for those positions. Parker played with much spirit throughout the game and bucked the line with his usual fierceness. In the last five minutes he gave way to Brayton, who is little slow for a half-back.

He will shortly have a new office in the Foxcroft House, but at present is to be found in the Lawrence Scientific School...
...charge of the State and is being converted into a public park. The land which adjoins it on the south has also been bought and has been added to what will eventually be known as the Lowell Memorial Park. As yet, little work has been done on the grounds except to clear off dead trees and to grade down slight elevations. Under the state park commissioners, however, the work of improving and enclosing the land will be hastened and it is expected that the new park will be opened next spring...
