...line-men as a whole showed some improvement over their form in the Williams game, especially in charging their opponents and starting with the backs. The lack of dash in the interference, due in part to the absence of Daly, and in part to the irregularity of the backs in starting, was a fault which can be corrected only with the use of more care by the backs in taking their positions. Any advantage Bowdoin had through the aggressiveness of her backs, was more than offset by her weakness in punting. Not only was the centre-rush inaccurate in passing...
...line-up. In Dibblee's absence, J. L. Knox '98 and J. A. Sullivan '97 looked after the backs and the punting. Except for some work of Reid's after the baseball practice was over, the kicking was decidedly mediocre. Sawin and Hallowell have good form, but their punts lack distance. R. Lawrence, half-back on last year's Freshman team, was out yesterday for the first time this season. His kicking is not particularly good, but he runs well with the ball...
...playing of the forwards, however, was not as aggressive as that of the backs. All the line men were behind the backs in starting, and the spiritless playing of Swain and Eaton was, to say the least, discouraging. Ristine and Campbell, the new ends, lack experience alone to be first-class players, and the centre of the line was strong on the defense...
...general play was snappy for this time of year, but very ragged. There was much fumbling on both sides, and the backs showed great lack of team work. There was also need for much improvement in the tackling. The punting is in general promising, although Reid is a trifle slow as yet. Gierasch played a quick running game, and Ellis plunged the line for sure gains. Burnett was out for exercise, but did not play. There is an unusual lack of heavy centre...
...vigorous campaign was entered upon in Boston and Vicinity, and the response was generous. But as July 1 drew near there was still a lack of several thousand dollars. Mr. Schiff was informed of the situation, but instead of consenting to an extension of the time, he offered to increase his gift to $50,000 provided the other subscribers would allow their contributions to "go to the fund from which purchases for the collection are being made." This offer was accepted without dissent, and the University will accordingly have the desired Semitic Building in addition to $19,240 for increasing...
