...second three-quarters Kimball made another touch down, and kicked a goal from a drop kick after the ball was punted out; but the referee said "no goal" much to every one's surprise. Bemis next made a touch down, but failed to kick a goal. After some very pretty rushing and passing by the forwards, Finney dragged Riley over the line and forced him to make a safety touch down. Soon after this the Ottawa rush line knocked Kimball down while trying for a "fair catch," and by dribbling the ball down the field secured a touch down...
...criticisms of the foot ball team a few days ago, we spoke of the necessity of training one man, and training him constantly, for the express purpose of kicking goals. The man selected for this important work should be out on Jarvis field practising hour after hour, kicking goals in every sort of wind and weather, from every part of the field, and under every circumstance likely to arise in a game. It is, of course, impossible at times to kick a goal successfully, and the college cannot, in all fairness, blame a man for doing the best he knows...
Aided by the wind the Williams men forced the ball towards Harvard's touchline and there it remained for some minutes, neither side making any brilliant plays or much headway. This uncertainty was followed by a kick of the Williams' quarter-back toward his own goal, by which Harvard darned about 40 yards before the ball was secured by the Williams' full-back. By a kick of Willard the ball went up to the 10-yard line of the Willaims defence, but this advantage was lost by our men and Willians once more sent the ball far down the field...
...place of Kimball, who took the place of Bemis. The Williams' snap-back made a rush of ten yards and in doing so was hurt. This necessitated a call of "time," which lasted a few minutes. The Williams men, however, could not stand against the wind nor could they kick well. The result was that several long kicks by Willard and Kent sent the ball within the 25 yard line. The ball was forced over the line in a scrimmage and Homans made a touchdown. The try at goal failed as did all others made afterwards. Hurd here failed...
...rusher line as a whole plays with a noticeable lack of spirit and determination, and is a sad contrast at present with those which made Yale famous in the rushing game. They seldom not nice in the past two days stop a kick. and are so eager to get down the fiord that they do not protect the halfbacks sufficiently for the kick. In lining up to put the ball in play they are in general above reproach, but at times, especially after a hard run. they seem disposed...
