...team work, snap nor skill. The men paid too much attention to their opponents and too little to the ball. Whenever a man gained anything he did so entirely by his own efforts, there being almost always nobody near to back him up. Weld played a good game at full-back and Harris rushed with energy but with small headwork. The rush line work was miserable. Some of the men in it were out of condition and the others did not know how to play. The teams were as follows: Cambridge-Rushers: Arnold, Page, Dyer, Haines, Davenport, Benshimol, Thayer. Quarterback...
...rushers, Black, Winthrop, Higgins, Bangs, Keene, Walker, Corning; quarter-back, Guerin; half-backs, Dodge, Harris and Burnham; full-back, Weld. Score...
...Harvey, Bliss and Hartwell. At half back Harvey and Bliss, and then Bliss and McClung were tried with fair success. Balliet, one of '92's heaviest men has begun training and promises well.

Mills and Owsley of last year's freshman team, as well as Bliss, Harvey and Hartwell are at work, and something will probably be made of them. Van Injen, '93, S., has a reputation as a long punter and may fill McBride's place at full-back. The general impression in New Haven...

All of the backs did some good rushing, but they were aided materially by the poor tackling of the Exeter backs. The playing of the academy team, against a much heavier lot of men was creditable; there is good material in the rush line, and Whitehead, at full-back, is a promising player...
...awkward, naturally, but there seems to be an abundance of good foot ball material among them. Back of the line the eleven promises to be unusually strong. All of the men who played last year in these positions are back and at work, with the exception of Saxe; in addition there are a number of new men who have had more or less experience in the game and who promise to develope with proper training into very valuable players. For full-back, besides Trafford, '93, who filled the position so acceptably last year, there are trying Frothingham...
