...decisively exemplified. Since the Williams game, however, the coaches have devoted a great deal of time to the correction of fumbling, especially in the backfield, and in catching punts. Captain Fish and Minot have been the most conspicuous players on the team, the former showing up as the mainstay on the defence, the latter as the most consistent ground gainer. Captain Fish has proved himself to be an excellent field captain in addition to his other qualities. His work in diagnosing his opponents' method of play, more particularly when Harvard is on the defensive has seldom been equalled...
...Williams Stevens was the mainstay. His punting was good, though he was very poorly protected, and he recovered several fumbles--once getting his own punt after a fumble. The Brooks brothers and Matschke were very strong on the defence, getting through and spoiling several plays before they were under way. Pratt, at end, was under kicks in every case and his tackling was very strong...
...ends showed up very well. The quick shift which was the mainstay of the Bates attack was a good test for them, and both regulars and substitutes were able to solve it. L. D. Smith, G. G. Browne and Houston were fast getting down the field under punts and their tackling was sure and hard. Fisher and McKay played well in the line, the latter helping the end at all times...
...playing at present, and their loss will necessitate a complete reorganization next year. The places to be filled will be catcher, first-base, short-stop, left-field, and centre-field. Another pitcher will also have to be developed to help out S. T. Hicks '10, who will be the mainstay in the box next year. The only members of this year's team besides Hicks to remain are C. L. Lanigan '10, third-baseman, J. A. MacLaughlin '11, second-baseman, and R. H. Aronson '10, right-fielder. Of the substitutes, E. N. Davis '09, pitcher, and D. Crocker '10, second...
...methods with the field event men have been so uniformly successful that he may be depended on to turn out several point winners. Another season should see great improvement in Lawrence, and Barker, Mueller, Dennis, and Wheelwright are developing for the high jump. Barr will again be the mainstay in the pole-vault, with no other candidate showing anything like the same ability. For the broad jump, Long, Dillingham, and Winward are the most promising, as Little will probably confine himself to the shot-put. In this event he is an almost certain winner, and Goddard is a possible point...
