...first Derby and Herrick attempted to hold the net, but they were continually forced into the back court by their opponents' superior volleying. In the second set they played from the back court, and won by their effective base line game. Their lobs and swift low ground strokes were well executed and hard to control at the net. They lost the match through their inability to reach the net, and their erratic work in the back-court...
...score of 6 to 5. The game was hard fought throughout, but was in every way discreditable to the Freshman team which, besides an advantage in weight, faced a team weakened by the loss of a captain and two other players. The Groton team gained most of its ground through the right side of the Freshman line and did so at will. For Harvard the bulk of the work was done by Bunting at right halfback. The interference was almost always ragged and slow in forming. A rally after Groton had scored enabled Randall to make a touchdown...
...down later and played brilliantly. He ran back punts for good gains, dodging well and fighting till downed. In his running of the team he showed commendable judgment. Ristine ran low and hard, and kept his feet well. Kernan followed his interference perfectly, and by his punting gained much ground for Harvard. McGrew at fullback played the best game he has done this year hitting the line hard, though a little high, and keeping his feet cleverly. His recovery of Carlisle's fumble and a rush of 25 yards through the line were excellent plays...
...make any gains during the first few minutes of play, but after substitutes were put in on the first the second steadily worked the all down the field by end running. Trott at left halfback on the second made good gains around Willard's end and often gained ground after being tackled. The defensive work of Bunting and Crocker prevented any gains around the other side of the line. Crocker's tackling was hard...
...best, finally winning out by his sharp volleying and well directed kills. Leonard played a less brilliant game at the net, but was surer, seldom allowing Bishop to pass him. His lobs from the back court fell generally too short, but his drives along the side lines and low ground strokes from the base line were speedy and accurate, and were very effective against Bishop's net game. In winning the tournament Leonard also gets the University championship, as E. R. Marvin '99, last year's champion, is no longer in College...
