Nichols, left halfback and captain, sets a good example to the team in the spirit of his playing, and on offense his work is often remarkably good. Although his tackling is hard and low, he fails to cover enough ground on the defense, and is too easily boxed by interference...
...punting and signal practice was held. All the men, with the exception of Wright, who has a bruised leg, appeared to be in good physical condition. The plays in the signal practice were executed with considerable snap and smoothness and showed that the men were ready and fit for hard work during the coming week. After ten minutes the men were sent to the locker building. The line-up of the first eleven in running through signals was as follows: L.e., Clark; l.t., Shea; l.g., Marshall; c., Sugden; r.g., Barnard; r.t., Knowlton; r.e., Bowditch; q.b., Marshall; l.h.b., Kernan; r.h.b., Putnam...

Shea was one of the chief offenders in this particular and devoted himself to it so assiduously that his aid to the team or to his own position was not of a very positive nature. His work in advancing...
...larger part of the season, the Pennsylvania team has not shown any great strength, but by defeating Columbia and Bucknell recently the eleven gave unmistakable sings of considerable improvement. Harvard has the advantage in weight, however, and should win by a fair margin, although Pennsylvania will surely play a hard game, and take full advantage of every mistake...
