...team, which, although it has progressed somewhat slowly, is now as good, if not the best team that Harvard has had in several years. In the early part of its schedule against the Maine teams the first eleven had little trouble in winning, and in fact had no really hard opponents until the Navy game, when it was outplayed completely. This was the first real test, and showed up some very apparent faults--weakness in defensive work and inability on the part of the backs to run with the ball. From that game on, the team has steadily improved...
...backs, Corbett, Kennard, Smith and Ver Wiebe never played behind the line before, and Cutler, at quarterback, is new to his position. The present set, Corbett, White and Ver Wiebe, or Kennard in case Burr does not play, is strong and fast. White and Ver Wiebe play hard, aggressive games and are both good line plungers. Corbett and Leslie, who alternate at left halfback, have proved the best ground gainers, and their running through a broken field is particularly good. Kennard's kicking ability makes him first choice for fullback, but if Burr starts the game, he will probably...
...team. The season began with rather moderate material,--men from second and Freshman teams. The team progressed satisfactorily until the Annapolis game, when it received a decided bump. This did the morale of the team a great deal of good. The Yale game, however, will be a hard one, and nobody should feel overconfident from the result of the Dartmouth game. In the coaching this year, the team has been made to do more thinking than before; it has been made to work out its own problems, as a means of being able to deal with emergencies. There...
...excellent judgment and run his plays with speed and smoothness, but he also got off forward passes with wonderful coolness and punted well. MacKay, Nourse, Hoar, and Withington all played well. The work of the ends also showed improvement, Browne and Crowley doing extremely well. It is hard to discriminate in the back field. Corbett and White only netted four yards, and while Leslie and Ver Wiebe proved themselves hard line-plungers. These two men made good gains on Harvard's long rush down the field, and it was Leslie's plunge through right tackle that gave Harvard the touchdown...
...Dartmouth's 25-yard line. Pollard ran for five yards around right end, and Marks made four yards more at centre. Sherwin punted to Browne. On the next play Harvard was penalized fifteen yards for holding. White took the ball back to the 48-yard line on three hard plunges through centre. Cutler got off a pretty forward pass to Fish, Corbett made three yards at left tackle, and Browne recovered a fumble in the next play on Dartmouth's 45-yard line. Cutler punted outside to Pishon, line plays failed to gain, and Sherwin returned the ball to Browne...
