...three o'clock this afternoon the University eleven will play Amherst, the last one of the easier games on the schedule. Although comparative scores are generally of little value, yet some idea, of the relative strengths of Harvard and Yale may be gathered from the results of the two games. A week ago Yale defeated Amherst by the score of 23 to 0. As the Harvard eleven will go into the game handicapped only by the absence of Reid, Burden, and Eaton, there is no reason why this score should not be considerably exceeded...
...This was due partly to the fact that nearly the whole squad was out to play, and that the men are in splendid physical condition. The large number of coaches also tended to brace the play of the weaker men in the line. W. C. Forbes '92, head coach last year, was out for the first time this season, but did not take a very active part in the work. M. Donald '99 and J. Cranston '91 were, however, out in football clothes, and with coach Dibblee, directly applied the principles they wished to teach the men. In addition...

Their team work was poor and they displayed a general looseness and lack of snap which was made worse by frequent fumbling. The absence of many of last year's team who are playing on the 'Varsity squad has necessitated the development of new men for almost all the positions...
...Freshman squad, numbering one hundred and forty-five men under charge of J. E. N. Shaw 2L., began practice a week ago Monday. During the earlier part of last week their work consisted only of practice in tackling and breaking through, but lately they have lined-up against one another in elevens. In addition, the men have received individual coaching from Shaw and J. L. Knox 2L. The squad was cut down to seventy men on Monday, fifteen of whom will be taken to training-tale in about ten days...
...allowed to play yesterday, and Hallowell, Sargent and Eaton were out in football clothes, but did not enter the line-up. Among the backs, Gierasch, Sawin, Kendall, Devens and Reid did not play because of injuries which, however, are not serious. Cochems 3L., the strongest man in the University last year, took part in the preliminary work, and received some careful individual coaching from Donald...
