...week game of the season in the Stadium this afternoon at 4 o'clock against Bates. Last year, Bates was very weak and was defeated 27 to 6; scoring their touchdown by the advantageous use of the forward pass and the quarterback kick. The Bates team this year is fast, but light, and the heavier University team should have little difficulty in gaining through the line. Cobb at quarterback, and Brown and Cummings, ends, proved very clever at the new game last year and repeatedly outplayed the Harvard forwards with their double passes and onside kicks...
...problem seems to be narrowing down pretty much to a question of the development of a fast, scrappy centare, a reliable right tackle and the improvement of the ends. The candidates for end are better than for several years back, but they seem to be almost uniformly show at following the ball.

...Inches secured for a touchdown. Starr, who started at quarterback, ran the team with life and dash and ran back punts for substantial gains. Lockwood showed great improvement over his work in the Bowdoin game and that of last year; and if he continues to play as hard and fast a game as he did yesterday, he should prove a most valuable back. Gilbert's main trouble was his inability to keep his feet. Several times he slipped and fell when he had a clear field before him. Butt's work at fullback was very crude, his fumbles being frequent...
...there are only three of last year's team playing today, the rest of eleven being made up of freshmen, the University team should have but little difficulty in scoring frequently. Inexperienced as Maine is, however, the team is reported to play a very fast game...
...University second football team will play the first game of its schedule against Andover at Andover today. The Andover team is fast, but light, and inexperienced, as Captain Merritt, quarterback, and Rosendale, tackle, are the only members of last year's eleven in today's line-up. The Harvard second is unusually strong and should win by a slight margin. Last year the score...
