...spite of the fact that the Princeton game is but seven days off, Coach Fisher will send in all nine of his remaining first string players today...
Both teams had their final work outs in the Stadium yesterday. Early in the afternoon, Coach Casey sent his men through their drill, concentrating largely on perfecting forward passes. An hour later Coach Fisher was drilling his men in blocking them. It is felt that on the forward pass will hang the outcome of the game today. Tufts serial attack is good, and Harvard's defense against overhead attack has, to date, been poor. The catching or the blocking of a pass may prove of infinite importance today...
...forecasters to decide whether the University or Princeton should win next Saturday. It will be more than a game between a large and a small college. For the Tufts team, coached by the All-Proficient Eddie Casey, will, in general, use the same "system" which the University uses. Coach Fisher's men will find themselves attempting to gain ground against a team employing their own defensive tactics, and, vice versa, will have to defend themselves against an attack on the same kind. That is true, in general...
...would be unfair to call it Coach Fisher's first team. Three of the backfield men wore black jerseys and two of the line men were substitutes. There were more men from the regular first team on the sidelines with injuries than were in the line-up against the Freshmen. Among the regulars on the injured squad were Crosby, Hill, Howe, Kernan, Lee, Coburn and Jenkins. The ranks of the University substitutes were also depleted by injuries: Donovan, Adie, Lockwood, Hobson, Cordingly and Samborski were all missing in yesterday's scrimmage...
...small wonder that with his squad so depleted Coach Fisher could not put up a stronger fight against the smashing Freshman attack yesterday...
