...result of the three games played and of the line-ups in practice, the defense of the Harvard eleven is, for this time of year, reasonably strong. In yesterday's practice of fifteen minutes the second eleven was given the ball half the time to test the first eleven. With the possible exception of right end, which was weakened by the absence of Hallowell, there was no place in the line where the second made consistent gains. The tackles were much improved. J. Lawrence, although against weaker opponents than on Saturday, was much steadier than usual, and proved...
...injured men, Daly and Campbell were allowed to play yesterday, and Hallowell, Sargent and Eaton were out in football clothes, but did not enter the line-up.

Once or twice the second rallied, but they were unable to secure the ball, and well-executed tackle plays pushed it over the line. Fincke returned the next kick-off and Campbell downed Motley for a loss. The remainder of the practice was spent in unsuccessful rushing by the second...
