...strength of the team can be formed. Since the game with Wesleyan several changes have been made on the Harvard eleven, and this game will be somewhat in the nature of a trial. Clark will take Hallowell's place at right end. Graydon will be tried at full-back, a position which he had not played for two years until Monday, and Gierasch will be given an opportunity to show his ability at halfback...
...game. The second team was a little the stronger, scoring once on a seventy yard run by E. Motley and ending with the ball on the fourth team's five yard line. The only important feature was the excellent line-bucking of Graydon, who was given a trial at full-back on the second...
...first task before Captain Brown was to find a full-back, to take the place of M.L.McBride, who has been made head-coach for the coming year. Hyde, who was first tried this year, proved unsatisfactory, and Head coach McBride made the experiment of putting Hale, last year's centre, in at fullback. With constant coaching, Hale has improved steadily as a back, and is good man for the position. His line-bucking is hard and fast. Another important change has been to put Keane in at quarterback, so that the ratio between quarterbacks and halfbacks might be equalized...
...against the third of two halves of eight and five minutes each. In the signal practice, the coaches drilled the backs carefully in the formation of the plays, but in the line-up the results of this were hardly apparent. The first eleven made good interference and gained repeatedly around the ends, but could not make any gain through the line. Fumbling at critical times also marred the playing of the first eleven's backs. Kendall was tried at full-back for a short time, but his punting was erratic and careless. He also does not hit the line with...
...substitutes: by Kennedy, who captained the second eleven, and who was prevented from playing by the one year's residence rule, by McCloskey, who will be Overfield's substitute at centre, and by Rengenberg, who started to play left end but recently has made a better impression as a full-back. For the other three positions there seems to be a host of good material. Howell's work, in particular, is so brilliant that it is expected he will develop into one of the best ends U. of P. has ever had. Snover and Stehle, too, are doing well...
