These last deficiencies are not as yet faults, for it is yet too early to expect final form, but the game did reveal many real and important faults which must be eradicated. The greatest of these was fumbling, although the game was not close enough to give the fumbles their full significance. Pennsylvania's touchdown was the direct result of a fumble, coupled with offside play, and on three occasions Harvard lost chances to score in the same way. Carelessness was another noticeable fault. When the team saw that it had almost a sure victory...
...most recent changes in the line. Back of the line the attention of the coaches is directed to the perfecting of formation plays. A tendency of the backs to go too far out on end plays and to break apart on centre plays is the most conspicuous fault. For full-back the candidates now are Skilton and Myers with the chances slightly in Skilton's favor. Philips, who at first was effective in this position, has lately taken a slump. At left half back Pruyn is a strong man with Parker as a substitute. The candidates for right half back...
...second after it had been held for downs. Consequently there was no scoring. The second's guards, especially Grew, ran the ball well, but the right side of the first team broke up most of the plays. In this J. Lawrence was very effective, but his old fault of paying too much attention to his opponent again appeared, Sargent also did much toward strengthening the defense, watching the plays closely and lunging well. Hallowell played an encouraging game at end and seemed to be regaining his form of last season. The halfbacks were very slow on the signals and interfered...

Eaton's game at left tackle shows more energy and spirit. Lawrence still has the fault of playing his opponent too hard and not keeping an eye on the ball. In breaking through he fails to throw himself in front of the runner. Lee lacks fight and tends to play too far from centre. Burnett is working well into right guard though he plays high on charging...
...hard fought. Marvin was much steadier than Laverack and although he had fewer clean passes to his credit, he made on the other hand fewer outs and nets. Marvin's service was not a hard as Laverack's but was more accurate and he served only one double fault in the three sets to Laverack's four...
