Warren played a good game except for his old fault of running into the line too high. His kicking was a feature. A. R. Sargent was in excellent form and will be a strong substitute for Boal. Gierasch played his usual dashing game and was a great help on the defense. Eaton and Stevenson were both injured in the practice. The line-up follows: Substitutes. Second Eleven. Ristine, l.e. r.e., Hoxie, Blagden, l.t. r.t., Peyton, Spratt. A. R. Sargent, l.g. r.g., Wheeler. C. Sargent, c. c., Greene. Hollingsworth, Barnard, r.g. l.g., Lee. Eaton, Stevenson, Peyton, r.t. l.t., Talbot. Hawkins...
Harvard's offense, in contrast to the defense, was full of faults, the most fatal of which was fumbling. Against a team playing faster and more accurate football than Pennsylvania, a dropped ball would result in a touchdown for the opponents. Attempts to correct this fault were made early in the season, and it is very discouraging to have it crop out now. The overeagerness of the forwards also cost Harvard the possession of the ball at critical times. Daly's generalship was open to criticism. He undoubtedly put dash into the team, and, as an individual player, was brilliant...
...Freshman eleven defeated the Worcester Academy team at Worcester on Saturday, by the score of 11 to 0. The Freshmen had a slight advantage in weight, and their back-field played together better than that of Worcester. Fumbling was their worst fault. Worcester played a stubborn, defensive game, allowing but one touchdown in each half. Their high tackling, however, allowed the Freshman backs to gain many times after they should have been stopped...
Burnett did well at centre and was very quick in following the ball. On the defensive, except for not meeting the play squarely, he was very effective in stopping plays. His worst fault is in standing too high. In the practice before the game, his place-kicks were remarkable for distance and accuracy, but in the game he missed the only try he had for goal...
...Senior and Junior elevens are about equal in strength. Both have a fairly effective interference and as a rule play aggressively. Their chief fault seems to be carelessness, which shows itself frequently in fumbling and offside play. The Freshmen have improved very rapidly of late, and ought to give a good account of themselves. The Sophomore team is composed wholly of new material, and is consequently weak...
