...line bucking was a future. Much of the credit for Apollonio's gains through the line is due to Rand, however, who pulled him along on every play till the ball was actually downed. He followed the ball closely, was all over the field, and played a hard, fast game. However, he was the only redeeming feature of the backfield. Butt and Gilbert fumbled constantly and on the defense were very weak. Butt in particular was drawn in on almost every end play and as a result, Colton and Honhart made repeated gains around his end. He was slow...
...tackling wasn't sure. Forster was a little slow and was inclined to be drawn in on end plays, but he helped the backs along well on the offense. Burr played well, both offensively and defensively, and his recovery of his first blocked kick was a very fast piece of work. He seemed to be somewhat slow in getting his punts off, but did not have adequate protection when called on to kick. Fish put up a good game on the offense and tackled well in the open field. The guards, Peirce and Hoar, and Nourse at centre, played steady...
With the first set of backs in, the second was no match for the University's tandem, and playing very hard and fast football, the latter broke through to the second's secondary defense on every play. The second set did not play together as well and failed to help along the man with the ball for such steady gains. Gilbert played a good individual game and made some 15 and 20-yard end runs. On the second, Osborne was transferred from tackle to halfback and in addition to his excellent onside kicking, was the best ground gainer...
...second's line, and the long end runs were due chiefly to the individual brilliancy of Starr. On the other hand, the second was unable to gain regularly through the University's defense, there being but one time when any steady gains were made. Gilder played a very fast game for the second and made some clever end runs. In fact, the manner in which the second's backs played together and helped each other in every play was a feature of the scrimmage...
...third round of the doubles tournament. N. W. Niles '09 easily defeated E. M. Pickman '08, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. The match between C. C. Pell '08 and H. L. Clark was more interesting. The first set went quickly to Pell, 6-0. He played a fast game and Clark did not get warmed up. The second set was closer, going to four all. Pell took the next game by swift forehand and backhand shots, dropping them cleverly in the corners. Clark then made it deuce by persistent lobbing. The last two games Pell took easily, making...
