...result of the three games played and of the line-ups in practice, the defense of the Harvard eleven is, for this time of year, reasonably strong. In yesterday's practice of fifteen minutes the second eleven was given the ball half the time to test the first eleven. With the possible exception of right end, which was weakened by the absence of Hallowell, there was no place in the line where the second made consistent gains. The tackles were much improved. J. Lawrence, although against weaker opponents than on Saturday, was much steadier than usual, and proved...
...Harvard line by far the best playing was by Boal. He blocked two kicks, handled his man with ease, and was the mainstay of the forwards. He is one of the few regular men who is in splendid physical condition. Burden played only one half and gave place to Barnard. Hallowell's playing and punting were of the first order until he was forced to retire from the game. The remainder of the line, however, played without particular merit. Lawrence was as aggressive as usual, but often totally ineffective. In addition to his old habit of getting off side...
...interference. Kendall; individually, was strong, but was of little service as an interferer. As Gierasch has strained a ligament in his leg, Parker played throughout the game. In spite of his light weight, he again proved his strength as a halfback. Ellis took Kendall's place in the second half, and, by carefully following his interference, made several long runs. He also made consistent gains on line plunges...
...second half Wesleyan prevented a large score by stronger playing. Hallowell wrenched his shoulder after excellent defensive work and had to retire from the game, and Boal continued his efficiency without decrease. One touchdown was scored. Ellis made a run of forty yards to the ten-yard line, when three plunges carried the ball across the goal line. Parker made the touchdown and Lawrence kicked the third goal...
...eleven could only tie Brown in the game at Providence on Saturday, 6 to 6. As a result of Outland's fumble, Cuddy, Brown's left end, picked up the ball and scored on a thirty yard run. U. of P. also scored her six points in the first half. In nearly every feature but line-bucking Pennsylvania's play was at least approximated by that of her opponent. Her back's, Reugenberg and Coombs, showed very little superiority in punting over Bates of Brown. She was frequently forced to kick on the third down, time and again she lost...
