There is a very large demand for seats at the Yale game and I wish every man who has received tickets to try to see that they do not get into any speculator's hands. Any tickets, which for personal reasons cannot be used, may be returned and will be accepted at face value at the office, 19 Grays Hall, if returned on or before Wednesday...
Harvard went into the game with only five regular men and a badly matched backfield, but this did not excuse the poor showing. The five regular line men were very slow and listless and usually failed to get the jump on their opponents. The ends were surprisingly ineffective and had little speed. Behind the line several of the men played good individual games, but there was a total lack of co-operation and interference, especially on the line plays, where the runner usually had to shift for himself.

Thayer, right end, is a willing worker, but seems unable to destroy interference or to be of great effect on the offense...
Jones, right tackle, stands too high, and does not maintain his proper position in relation to the guard. He lacks charge, relying on brute force to get his opponent out of the way, with the result that he gets tangled up with his opponent too often.

He has not learned how to resist force coming at him from an angle, now properly to help out his guard...
Hutchinson, left end, is slow getting down under kicks, and allows plays to get outside of him. He goes into his opponents much too high, especially on the offense. Before his injury he was doing some consistently good kicking. Lane, left end, does very well in going through interference, but has not yet learned how to get clear of a pocket with sufficient speed. Harrison, left end, is very slow on his feet, and some very clever work is marred by his tendency to get pocketed...
