...getting down on punts. '99 and '98 also lined up for short ten minute halves, after which parts of the squads were dismissed and teams chosen to practice signals. 1900 is at present less advanced than either of the other squads and the material is also of a somewhat inferior grade. There is a strong need of line men, as there is barely one man for each of the centre positions.

...that is capable of very good football. The score does not show how much Harvard outclassed her opponents. Only once was the ball lost on downs, and Williams never succeeded in holding the ball for more than four downs. In point of team play the latter was very much inferior.

It was a repetition of the same old story-Harvard's inferior physical condition. In almost all our big games of late years our players have not stood the physical strain as well as their opponents. It requires very little reflection to come to the conclusion that there must be something wrong in our system. This seems to be the sentiment of the students generally. But where the fault lies is hard to tell. Certainly no one can complain...
