...were supposed to be the weakest point in Harvard's line, proved unexpectedly strong, and time and again while trying to circle Harvard's ends the Yale's backs were thrown for a loss. The ends of both elevens were apt to overrun the backs on punts, but this fault also was due to the condition of the gridiron. The tackles and guards at first let Yale's backs through for frequent gains, but towards the end sized up their opponents' play and held for downs in good shape...
...opponents. Against Newton the 'Varsity scored 24 points and showed a decided improvement over their previous form. The next game with Brown they also won easily by the score of 18-0, and in this game exhibited the best football that they had so far been capable of. A fault still conspicuously apparent, as in the other games, was the uncertain starting of the backs. The interference showed new strength and compactness. Then came the reaction of the Newtowne game. Harvard won, 22-0, yet there was such a deplorable falling off in their form that the game was worth...
...work of Harvard's backs was particularly poor, especially on the defensive. On the offensive, the chief fault was the fumbling behind the line which in great part accounted for Harvard's small score. Spear at left tackle played a brilliant game for Worcester, and to his strong playing are due the three touchdowns scored against the Freshmen. Though the eleven alone is to blame for this defeat, the team is a strong one, and with a week's practice before it, should improve...
...ends have covered their positions in excellent form throughout the season. Their fault is that they do not help the runners enough on the offensive. For substitute end, Richardson has been doing good work. In spite of his light weight he seems to break up or sift through interference and is always at the right spot. Bull has been showing up well as an end, tackling fiercely and running hard and well, though showing greenness and tackling too high. Graydon tackles well but is nursing an injury, and Lewis, though first-rate on following the ball, often overruns...
...guard Bouve is showing up well both on the offensive and defensive. If he showed a little more fierceness in his play there would be little fault to find with him. Haskell is steady and strong. He follows the ball well and is apt to get it on a fumble. He knows his position thoroughly. Shaw's present good work is too well known to need comment. If he does not play Saturday it will be due to some physical disability rather than to any doubt as to the excellence of his play. Boal is a fierce rusher and plays...
