...rusher opposite him quite so much. He tackles hard and low, and keeps his eyes open. On the whole he is about as good as any man in the rush line. Butler is slow in getting through. He runs hard and follows the ball well; but is apt to lose his head a little. Wood backs up well, and blocks and gets through fairly well, but he fumbles badly and tackles very high. Brooks understands the position of centre-rush, and runs his team well. His chief fault is that he relies too much on his strength, tackling high. Woodman...
...middle of the field. The two halves of the game were in marked contrast with each other. The first was perhaps the best the team has yet played, the second, the most wretched. In the beginning of the second half the half-backs fumbled terribly and seemed to lose head entirely, the quarter-back passed wildly and poorly, and for some moments it looked as if the whole team had gone to pieces. The rush-line as a whole played a good game throughout, though their losing the ball at several critical points in the game, cost us several touchdowns...

B. Coxe, '87, 1st. In fact the only valuable man they lose is F. R. Smith, '86, who won the 1-2 mile...
There is one inter-collegiate contest in which Harvard may justly consider herself entitled to the first place again this year, - the contest for the Mott Haven cup. The cup has been won for Harvard so repeatedly that to lose it even once at the close of so long and such creditable work, is out of the question. We publish, however, in another column, a statement of those winners of events last year who remain in Yale and who will probably again enter the contest. The list is truly formidable, to any other university than Harvard. But even Harvard must...
