...dual checker match between Harvard and Yale, which was played at New Haven on Saturday, was won by Harvard by a score of 15 1-2 to 8 1-2. The teams from each club were composed of six men, and each man played two games with two members of the opposing team, making in all 24 games played. The individual scores were as follows: HARVARD. won lost M. J. Kling 2L., 4 0 E. W. Merritt '04, 3 1 E. Field '04, 3 1 G. B. Dabney 1L., 1 1-2 2 1-2 P. R. Ammidon...
...sided score was certainly unusual. It is also seldom that a strong team is scored upon by a long run, yet there was one run of 74 yards straight through the line for a touchdown, and there were others similarly executed which, if not stopped by the man in the backfield, would have had the same result. With the exception of these plays and a few punts of extraordinary length, there was little of the spectacular. For the most part, the game was a long series of rushes with scarcely any variation from the accepted style of attack--the tackle...
...plays as good a game as the other candidates and in addition is very valuable in carrying the ball. He is, however, a trifle too slow in determining where plays are going and gives practically no help to the other members of the team. Clark is a faster man than Mills, but has in an even greater degree the fault of not assisting the other players. At tackle also the struggle has been hard and long protracted. Both Shea and Wright have been given exhaustive trials, with the result that the former has at last proved himself the more effective...
...older players on the eleven are continuing their good playing of last year but nearly all of them have some faults that have not up to this time been remedied. Bowditch is one of the best players on the team in helping the man with the ball and in stopping plays around his end, but on punts he frequently overruns or is so slow in getting down the field that the ball is often returned some distance before he arrives. Barnard is a heady player but does not show as much fight as his position requires. Graydon can be relied...
...notwithstanding the fact that they are somewhat under the average weight of Yale backs, have made up for this deficiency in weight by their admirable offensive play. Bowman is a punter of extraordinary ability, combining in his kicks both distance and accuracy. Rockwell at quarterback is a good man for his position, but in running back kicks is hardly qualified to maintain the standard of his predecessor, De Saulles. He tackles well, and runs the team with excellent judgment. Shevlin and Rafferty have developed into competent ends, getting down well under punts and giving valuable assistance in the interference...
