...coaches this fall made mistakes in judgment, but in my twenty years of observation of Harvard athletics I have never seen a coach who did not make mistakes. Even W. T. Reid, Jr., for whom most of us are shouting so hard just now (at any rate I am), did many things which caused severe criticism, but they were all forgotten when the team which he was coaching won from Yale, I suppose that playing Filley at end caused more talk than any other one thing this fall. It was attributed to favoritism. I know Filley...
...lack finish. The line was stronger than the backfield and compared favorably with any line of previous years. Great credit is due to Head-coach Rafferty, Captain Hogan and Trainer Murphy for the splendid machine that they build up. The team was so well knit that it would be hard to single out any individual player as better than the others...
...carry the ball, but he was reliable in defense and his kicking was thoroughly creditable in view of poor defense and unreliable passing. Starr ran the team well and was sure in handling punts. His one fumble was due to a poor pass from centre. Randall played a hard, reliable game, Montgomery, pitted against an end of national reputation, played his position with credit, and Matthews was fast in getting down under kicks, deadly in tackling and effective in breaking up interference. Derby and Brill bore the brunt of Yale's attack in the first half and both contested every...
...second half the teams lined up without change. Shevlin caught the kick-off on Yale's 8-yard line and ran back 20 yards. He was tackled so hard by Matthews that he dropped the ball, but Neal recovered it. Hoyt at once punted to Starr on Harvard's 47-yard line. Brill fumbled and Neal again secured the ball for Yale. Flinn got 1 yard at centre, and Morse 5 behind Bloomer. Bloomer took the ball but was thrown back for a loss of 1 yard. Hogan made 2 yards at centre and Hoyt kicked out of bounds...
...overcome. In other ways the improvement has been steady throughout the season. The defeat at the hands of West Point seemed to give the team a great brace and in the next game Columbia was beaten by the large score of 34 to 0, the team playing a hard, consistent and, at times, a brilliant game. The play in the Princeton game was all that could possibly be asked for and, with the week of comparative rest, broken only by light practice, Yale should put a stronger team in the field today than went against Princeton...
