...very much of a question at the commencement of the season. In the course of practice, however, Walker's uncertain playing placed him behind both Minds and Morice, and the development of Morice as a halfback, and particularly his strong running in an open field, proved an important factor in determing his present position. The remarkable improvement shown by Jackson over the work of the previous fall-his speed and strength in bucking the line and running the ends-fixed him immediately at halfback, where he has played throughout the season a brilliant and consistent game...
This afternoon, Harvard will play her last game of the season against Pennsylvania. From a comparison of scores, indications certainly point to Pennsylvania as the stronger team. However, there is one important factor to be considered before making a too hasty judgment as to the comparative strength of the two elevens-their process of development. Pennsylvania's policy this season has been to bring the team to its highest degree of perfection at the earliest possible date, a fact which has figured prominently in the rolling up of large scores at the beginning of the season, while Harvard's policy...

It has become in fact the centre of university life. It is confined to no special department of the university...
...instances, the backs started faster, ran with more precision, and hit the line harder than at any time this season. The interference, with the exception of Haughton, got into swing in good shape. Garrison, who was tried at quarter for the first time, was the strongest factor in aiding his backs by timely blocking off. He was virtually the instrument of Dibblee's long run of 50 yards for a touchdown. He ran the plays with a great deal of judgment and infused plenty of spirit into the men, by his energetic style of play. His most conspicuous fault...
