...does not pass hard enough, and does not use his head in his own running. He keeps his eyes open, however, and watches his chances well. Porter has shown marked improvement in the last week, but he still fumbles badly. He likes to run when he ought to kick; and he never puts his men on side from a kick. Sears invariably runs into a crowd, and when a man starts to tackle him, he slows up to ward him off instead of keeping right along. He fumbles badly still, and gets rattled in a crisis. Peabody is rather slow...
...while ago, and some of the men follow the ball and back the others up pretty well; but they do not get through the rush line quick enough; and even when they do, they do not seem to know where to get to stop the opposing half-back from kicking the ball back. In the whole of the game against Andover, the Harvard rush line did not stop the halfbacks from kicking one single time after a down, a showing which, as they were playing against a lighter and weaker team, is very poor indeed. When our own half-backs...
Play began at 3.55 and Harding made the first touchdown in one and one half minutes. No goal was kicked. Andover kicked off, made a fair catch from Harvard's kick and sent the ball off again, but Fletcher got it and scored at 4 p.m. No goal this time. Fletcher made the third touchdown at 4.04. No goal. Shaw rushed from front of Andover's goal to Harvard's twenty-five yard line and kicked. Remington made a fair catch, touched, and passed the ball to Woodman, who rushed back to Andover's line. Remington made the fourth touchdown...
...ducked as he ran. The result was bad. During the first half hour Stevens had the lower goal and the wind against them, so that they found it necessary to play a running game almost entirely, while Harvard, whose duty and intention it was to rely on their kicking for this half, did little but fumble. The game was started at three o'clock with Stevens in possession of the ball. The Stevens men tried to run with it, but in spite of the high tackling of the Harvard rushers, they did not gain much ground. Then a Stevens back...
...soon as play was called in the second half, rushes by Harding and Porter carried the ball down to the Stevens' line, and Fletcher made a touchdown. The try for goal failed, the ball going sideways across the field, and Fletcher made another touchdown from which no goal was kicked. Porter got the ball from the kick-out and ran it back almost to the line, when Fletcher carried it across again. No goal, the ball being kicked fair where Stevens got it. When they next lined up, Smith got through and stopped a kick, and Remington dropping...
