...This was the second game of the western trip. The game was clean and fast throughout. The work of the team was much better than in the Cornell game on Friday, but the ability of the Schenectady team to get the jump at centre served to keep the ball well in Harvard territory. Gilles played a fast game at forward, throwing four of the five field goals made by the Harvard team. A crowd of 1,500 people watched the game...
...easy chances. The most encouraging feature of the work was the defensive play of the forwards who followed back far better than in any previous game, and made it nearly impossible for the opposing forwards to get started. In this department, Foster was a little over anxious to keep up with the scrimmage. No real test was given the defense, but whenever the backs were called upon, their blocking seemed crude and easily passed. The tendency to play out too far was again in evidence, especially in the case of Clothier, who several times left his territory unprotected, when there...
...machine rowing and exercises with the chest-weights under the direction of Vail and Wray. Some improvement in the general work of the men is apparent especially in the management of their slides and the position of their bodies, but all of the squads show a marked inability to keep in time with stroke. At present there are only about forty men in the squad, but it is expected that more good material will report at the close of the mid-year period. Early next week the squad will be given practice in the rowing tank and after...

However, by fast, hard playing, Harvard should be able to keep Cornell's score down. This game will be the second one played by Harvard in the Intercollegiate League...

A fairly fast and consistent team play has been developed and this, added to effective body-checking of the opposing team, serves well to keep the ball in the opponents' territory. The two most noticeable faults of the team are the fumbling on fast passes and a tendency on the part of the forwards to attempt goals when running and before securing a balanced position...
