...mile race with Yale should prove very close. The first three men of the University team are probably a little faster on the average, but Parsons, who will run last for Yale, is a very good man. There is no way of comparing the two Freshman teams. In the upper class race the Seniors have slightly the advantage, judging from the time trials made...
Since the game with Tufts last Saturday the practice of the University team has been directed toward developing faster play. In passing and dribbling little improvement has been noticed, and as yet no member of the team has proved able to shoot goals from fouls with any degree of accuracy. Signals have been tried for new formations, and as far as can be judged by the games with the second team are very effective...

The Sophomore team was faster than the Freshman, but was very weak in shooting. The Freshmen guarded well, especially when the ball was near their goal. Both teams showed undeveloped team play...

To this end both the first eleven and a team of substitutes were given a long drill in starting from regular formations. The preliminary work consisted only of a short punting practice, in which Burr, Leonard and Hall did the kicking. The ends went down under the punts against opposing ends, but there was no tackling. After the work in starting, the first eleven lined up against the second team and went through plays very slowly...
Both teams were forcesd to punt frequently and although Burr's kicks were about equal to Sheble's in length, the Pennsylvania ends were faster in getting down the field and thus gave their team the advantage on nearly every exchange. As soon as Parker was taken out it became evident that Harvard's weak places were the three centre positions. Captain Torrey played a hard game against White and opened up holes for the tackle and guard-back plays on both sides of centre, besides breaking through and blocking many plays behind the line. Burr's punting hardly compensated...
