...backfield, Kempton is playing far better football, as is natural, under his former Exeter mentor, than he could under Sharpe; Murphy, though a valuable drop-kicker, is too frail to displace Kempton Playing at halfback in the latest scrimmage are Aldrich, who already shapes up as the star of the Yale offense, and French, a reliable back. Webb took Jordan's place at fullback, but the former Exeter back is the favorite to start Saturday's game
Bates then ran up Horween's kick-off from its 10 yard to its 23 yard line. A rush and pass failed and the Maine kicker, Molten, punted out of danger to the Harvard 40 yard mark. Murray tore ahead 15 yards for first down. On the next play Casey sprinted around left end and broke through the field for a touchdown. The goal was kicked by Horween. The first quarter ended after a series of fumbles and incompleted forward passes by both sides, leaving the ball in the opponent's possession on the University's 30 yard mark...
...Although it held Bates to small gains it was unable to score in this quarter, despite repeated line plunges by A. D. Hamilton '21, who substituted for Nelson at right half-back. More than half the period had elapsed before the Harvard eleven got under way. Moulton, the Maine kicker, punted to R. S. Humphrey '21 who tore from his own 45 yard line to the enemy 35 yard line. Nine rushes by Hamilton and F. C. Church '20, alternately, put the ball on the Bates 4 yard mark just as the first session closed...

Much interest centers on the question of punting, which has heretofore been notably weak. Hunneman has shown ability as a kicker, but he has several times been forced to kick short in previous games. He has proven himself a great line-plunger, however, and a strong man on the defense. A. J. Conlon, R. Hoffman '19, and P. Coburn '22 are a trio of fast open-field runners who gave...
...Enwright '18, a star line plunger, E. L. Casey '19 and Cannell of Dartmouth, all elusive backs on end and off-tackle plays. The field generalship is in the hands of W. J. Murray '18. On the Rhode Island team there are Barrett of Cornell, star runner and kicker, Cerrish of Dartmouth, a hard line-plunging back, and Purdy, who played at Brown. Hite and Gardner from the Middle West are also strong players...
