...first opportunity on the University eleven and went in at right half-back. Kernan, Graydon, and the other regular men, though not injured, were allowed to rest from the effects of the game on Saturday. Foster's knee has recovered and he played for a few minutes at right halfback on the second team...
...former is promising but has still a great deal to learn. Rockwell has been given a trial at quarterback, and while imparting considerable speed and life to the team is very erratic in his handling of the ball. VanderPoel. last year's substitute fullback, is doing well at right halfback, as is also S. Ward. Both are valuable because of their kicking ability. Of the candidates for fullback Bowman is still on the hospital list and Farmer appears at present the leading candidate for the position...
...then went around right end behind good interference for the fourth touchdown. Barnard kicked goal. Harvard, 24; Wesleyan, 0. The last touchdown was made by forcing the ball 90 yards straight down the field. Most of this distance was covered by Knowles, who took Kernan's place at left halfback and made two runs of more than 30 yards each. On the last one, he was tackled just under the goal posts and Leatherbee made the touchdown on the next play. Marshall completed Harvard's score by kicking a goal from the field while standing on the 22 yard line...
...most important change in the Harvard line-up will be the re-appearance of Kernan at left halfback. His injured knee has prevented him from playing during the past few weeks, and this will be the first regular game in which he has taken part.

The only other regular player who will not play is Graydon, whose shoulder has not yet recovered from the injury it received on Monday. Wesleyan...
...Chadwick is the most consistent and reliable ground-gainer on the team, and is playing better than ever before. Hinkle has played left half whenever Chadwick was not in the game. He is perhaps the fastest of the backs, but is weak in defensive work. The candidates for right halfback include Ward, Wilhelmi, Owsley, Soper and Preston. Ward's efficiency lies in his weight and his kicking abilities; he has made a strong showing thus far. Wilhelmi has just returned to college after being ill for some time. If he can recover his form of last year he will prove...
