...place, and to have Frothingham go in at left halfback. The ends played well throughout the game, L. D. Smith making a number of beautiful tackles in the open field and receiving two short forward passes, while both he and Houston were down the field under almost every kick. Minot punted nine times, and the Army backs did not run these back for ten yards altogether. Minot played excellently, hitting the line hard and fast, but his punting was even more phenomenal. His nine punts averaged 37 yards and all but one were made against a brisk wind. Leslie, when...
West Point won the toss and acting-captain Byrne chose to receive the kick off at the north end, having the wind at his back. P. Withington kicked off to Dean, who ran to his 26-yard line, after some very clever dodging. A fake kick failed to gain so Dean punted to Frothingham, who was tackled instantly on Harvard's 40-yard line. A quarterback run gained seven yards, three line plays netted 17 yards more, but Harvard was penalized for offside play, leaving the ball on West Point's 50-yard line. Here O'Flaherty sent a forward...
...final practice for the first team before the West Point game tomorrow, the first squad was kept on the field only a few minutes. There was a short signal drill, the men were given a little instruction in their individual faults, and, after running back a number of kick-offs, the first team was sent in. The first team line-up, the one which will probably start the game tomorrow, was as follows: l.e., Houston; l.t., McKay; l.g., L. Withington; c., P. Withington; r.g., Fisher; r.t., Fish; r.e., L. D. Smith; q.b., O'Flaherty; l.h.b., P. D. Smith; r.h.b., Leslie...
...Rogers kicked off to Frothingham, who made 20 yards before he was downed. The force of the tackle knocked him unconscious. He was taken from the field, and Marsh substituted. Harvard then began to gain, but Lewis was soon forced to kick to Paradise who gained only one yard. The Freshmen recovered the ball on a fumble. Wendell replaced Lewis, and Graves went in for Graustein. Marsh punted to Paradise who was thrown for no gain. Fletcher then kicked out from behind his own goal-line. Harvard was penalized five yards for off-side. Ervin replaced Gardner. A forward pass...
Yale defeated Colgate College at New Haven on Saturday by the score of 36 to 0, in a game in which Colgate made first down only three times. Long runs by Philbin and Murphy were frequent, but the chief feature of the game was the successful field-goal kicking by Coy. Yale scored in this way twice during the first half once from the 30-yard line and again from the 42-yard line. In the second half Philbin scored twice after making two long end-runs. The forward pass was used to advantage several times, and Logan scored once...
