...close proximity of an important contest, the showing was certainly disquieting. The whole team was remarkably slow, there was practically no interference, and but for the extreme weakness of the second eleven, whose frequent fumbles thwarted any attempts at effectual offensive work on their part, defeat would have been hard to avert. As it was, in a line-up which lasted twenty minutes, the first team was twice held for downs, lost the ball on a fumble, and could score only once on straight plays. Another touchdown was made, but it was due to one of the second team...
...race was by far the closest and most exciting that has taken place on the river for several years, although all the crews rowed rather badly. The course was smooth, in spite of a slight head wind. The first Weld took a hard spurt at the start, and got a little ahead of the other crews. At the quarter-mile the first Newell drew ahead of the first Weld, and the second Newell fell about half a length astern of the other crews. By this time the first Newell had settled down to a long stroke, not above thirty, while...
...good football, but the many sensational runs and the brilliant individual work certainly made it interesting to watch. As for being a well-contested game, it was a foregone conclusion, after Harvard's first touchdown, that time only could determine the size of the score. The Indians played hard, but failed to make as strong a fight as they were capable of, and it was simply a matter of superior weight and perhaps a little more skill, for Harvard continually to penetrate the line or circle the ends for good gains. On the other hand, Carlisle was not greatly outplayed...
...longest scrimmage of the season was held in the secret practice yesterday when the first and second elevens lined up against each other for halves of twenty and fifteen minutes. The cold weather infused dash and energy into the playing which was unusually hard and at times fast, with the result that four touchdowns were scored by the first team, three in the first half and one in the second. Very little time was given to preliminary work which consisted of punting by Kernan, Leatherbee and Leonard, and a short signal practice...
...first two sets of the match were rather one-sided as Leonard and Warland showed themselves superior to their opponents in every part of the game, both men winning many points by their hard service and accurate placing. Lyon was erratic in the first two sets and did not seem to be able to return the swift balls of his opponents. His playing, however, improved in the third set which he and Bishop won by a score of 6-4. The fifth game of this set was very exciting and was marked by well-placed balls on both sides...
