...were lined up against it and at the snap of the ball lunged at it and pushed it ahead of them. If one side of the line was slow the machine slewed around and showed where the weakness was. After some work of this sort the linemen were given some hard defensive practice, while the backs were put through the plays. The first and second elevens then lined up and played a short game...
...large number of graduate coaches were present at the secret practice yesterday and worked vigorously with the entire team. W. H. Lewis L. S. '95, M. Donald '99, A. E. Doucette '95, and J. S. Graydon '98 coached the linemen; and D. S. Dean '91, N. W. Cabot '98, C. W. Forbes '92, J. E. N. Shaw '98 and B. G. Waters '95 did some general coaching. The second eleven was given more practice in the guards-back formation, and in the game it used this play a great deal. It was well executed but was usually stopped...
...development of the Yale eleven is progressing along the same lines as usual. Heavy backs and linemen accustomed to rushing with the ball make a combination able to wear out a strong defense by line attacks.

...individual work of the Harvard ends and backs was the best done so far this season. Campbell followed the ball without a mistake; three times he stopped Columbia's delayed pass play for a loss, he got down well under punts, and helped the linemen on the defense. Daly, besides running the team well and keeping the men steady, made a brilliant dodging run of forty-five yards after catching a punt. The best work behind the line was done by Sawin. He seemed to have no difficulty in breaking through holes in the right side of the line...
