Andrew Marshall 3L., right guard, prepared at Roxbury Latin School, where he played two years on the football team at guard. He came to Harvard from Dartmouth, where he graduated in 1901, after playing one year in the position of fight guard. Last year he was right guard on the University eleven. He is 24 years old, 6 feet 4 inches in height, and weighs 210 pounds...
...Yale has not proven to be especially effective. Hogan, while making at times short gains through the line, has not succeeded in accomplishing the results in the Princeton game. The Yale attack has been directed principally against Derby at left tackle, but Derby is showing a wonderful spirit of fight, and is holding his own fairly well. He frequently succeeds in opening holes through Hogan. Captain Marshall is playing a much more reliable game than hitherto this season. The most noticeable feature, perhaps, of Harvard's playing is the team work...
Yesterday's practice, the last serious work in preparation for the Yale game, was unusually good and far more satisfactory than any recently held by the University eleven. The dash and fight shown in the individual play was accompanied by very marked improvement in team play. The whole work was very encouraging, and if it is an indication of what may be expected on Saturday, certainly boded well for the team's chances against Yale...
...scrimmage lasted for 20 minutes, the University eleven scoring three times against the second during the period, twice on touchdowns and once on a kick from the field by C. B. Marshall. Both elevens played hard and fast and showed a great deal of fight. The greatest improvement noticeable since the last open practice was in the superior team work of the University eleven, especially on the offense, when the team worked as a unit in helping and pulling along the runner. On the defense the team showed power, and except in a few instances, prevented the second from making...
...individual work of the members, all have shown plenty of fight and willingness to learn, but a surprising inability to get over old habits of slowness and clumsiness. Hall, right end, is a hard and intelligent worker and covers his end of the line very well, except for a tendency to go in at line plays too soon and thereby to leave the field clear for any sort of fake around his end. He is a hard tackler, but often overruns his man in going down under a punt. Practically the same faults are to be found in Sargent...
