Ristine, at right half, started quickly, hit the line hard and kept his feet well. McGrew at full back and Derby at left half were quick in starting, and found the openings accurately. Robinson and Cutts at guard, and Graydon and Lawrence at tackle, were successful in offensive charging, and in blocking their men. Matthews at quarter tackled surely, and prevented several and gains. Scott at full back was slow in getting off his punts...
...everything depends upon the guards, every effort is made to find brilliant players for this position. One man has been found, Piekarkski, a schoolboy from Wyoming Seminary, who is two inches over six feet in height, and weighs 195 pounds. He is developing into a hard line-bucker, and will probably play right guard. The other guard has not been found. Baird, McCabe and Sterner are all good men, the former being by far the best line-bucker. He was Captain Hare's substitute last year. Teas, last year's guard, has just come out, but he is still playing...
...first few days of practice this fall, with little new meterial to draw on, were not at all encouraging. In fact, the defeat of Lehigh by Pennsylvania a week ago, 28 to 0, was hardly expected. Though no team play appeared in the game, the playing was hard and snappy. Last Wednesday's game with Franklin and Marshall showed, however, that any confidence in the Pennsylvania eleven is misplaced. Franklin and Marshall lost the game by a fluke, 6 to 0, and the U. of P. team played a wretched game throughout. In the first half Franklin and Marshall clearly...
Cutts, Barnard, Lawrence and Graydon made openings whenever called upon, and blocked the opposing plays thoroughly. Back of the line, Jennings, Ristine and Derby, at halfback, made effective gains, and McGrew and Meier at fullback hit the line low and hard. Matthews, at quarter, tackled cleverly, backed up the line well, and took advantage of fumbles...
...nals of the doubles were between Harvard and Yale teams. The Yale team, H. A. Plummer and S. L. Russell, defeated J. A. Roche '03 and W. P. Blagdon '04, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. The Yale men were a little the steadier, but had a hard time to win. The playing of J. A. Roche for Harvard was at times brilliant, and his volleying and smashing of lobs were the features of the match...
