...pleasant to criticise a team which is working hard to represent Harvard creditably, but Saturday's game should serve as a warning to coaches and players alike. A supposedly weaker team carried off practically all the honors in the use of new and open plays, and in several other respects the Harvard team was tried and found wanting. A general condemnation of the eleven would be as unjust as it is unwarranted, but to say that the team as a whole came up to reasonable expectations would be to wander far from the truth. It required the spur...
...second team twice held the university team for downs and gave it considerable difficulty in scoring one touchdown. Straight football was used for the most part though one or two forward passes and onside kicks were worked successfully. Coy's work at fullback was conspicuous. He hit the line hard and made several good gains...
With the first set of backs in, the second was no match for the University's tandem, and playing very hard and fast football, the latter broke through to the second's secondary defense on every play. The second set did not play together as well and failed to help along the man with the ball for such steady gains. Gilbert played a good individual game and made some 15 and 20-yard end runs. On the second, Osborne was transferred from tackle to halfback and in addition to his excellent onside kicking, was the best ground gainer...
...promise of development. R. C. Foster '11 did the 100-yard dash in 10 and 2-5 seconds, good time considering the condition of the track. H. Jaques, Jr., '11 ran the half-mile in 2 minutes, 3 and 1-5 seconds, in very pretty form, without being pushed hard. The most closely contested event was the one-mile run, in which six men finished almost in a line...
...opposing ends. Starr and Rand were usually thrown for losses on right end plays by Morse or Osborne, and the second halfbacks could not gain around Forster or Macdonald. White played an excellent game for the second, and their steady gains through guard and centre were due to his hard line-bucking. Towards the end of the scrimmage Fish and Inches changed places, as they did Tuesday in order to give Fish harder defensive work than he would get on the first eleven. Kennard also played on the second on the defense for the same purpose. Parker's recent absence...
