...through signal practice for three hours today. Falling on the ball, getting down under punts, and tackling, for which the men were divided into four squads with two or three coaches in charge of each, took up a good part of the afternoon. No scrimmage was held, but the linemen were sent against each other in trying out several formations...
...coaches thought best to give the squad a good rest after Saturday's game. Neither Corbett nor P. D. Smith were dressed since both were slightly hurt on Saturday. The punting of Sprague, Minot and Frothingham was good, the other backs catching the punts. Coach Kersberg gave the linemen a long drill. F.H. Burr '09, captain of last year's team, was on the field and assisted in coaching the line. J.W. Cutler '09, quarterback last fall, aided Coach Daly in his work with the backs. Formation drill was given considerable attention, and a long signal practice followed. L. Withington...
Fish and MacKay, who are generally conceded to be two of the best linemen Harvard has had in several years, will be back in the tackle positions. Browne will again play left end and in case Crowley does not return to College, his place at right end will probably be filled by Houston or Harding. R. C. Brown '10 is another possible end. For guards there are Dunlap and West, who played against Yale, as well as McGuire and good Freshman material to draw from. Smith, who played at right halfback last year and Harding may both be developed into...
Fish and MacKay, who are generally conceded to be two of the best linemen Harvard has had in several years, will be back in the tackle positions; and Browne and Crowley, this year's efficient ends, will be again available. Brown, Harding and Houston are the other candidates for end. To fill the guard positions are Dunlap and West, who played against Yale, as well as good substitute and Freshman material to draw on. Smith, who played at right halfback this year, is a promising candidate for centre. He played a brilliant game in that position on his Freshman team...
...efficient men, tackle hard, and do well with the forward pass. Their one fault is that they are slow in getting down the field under punts. In Brown, Cutting and Houston, they have very able substitutes. The tackles, Fish and MacKay, are generally conceded to be two as good linemen as Harvard has had in some time. They are both excellent on the defense, and Fish's work not only in the line, but in catching forward passes, stands out above the rest of the team...
