...this year's cricket team are just as bright as they have been for the past two years, in which Harvard won the intercollegiate championship. All of last year's team, with the exception of Haughton and Scattergood, and most of the substitutes are back again this fall. To offset the loss of these two players, Towery, captain of the Haverford team, will play for Harvard next spring. There will be no fall practice, but directly after Christmas work will begin in the cage in the Gymnasium. Several of the men have been playing during the summer with a view...
...absence of Daly, and in part to the irregularity of the backs in starting, was a fault which can be corrected only with the use of more care by the backs in taking their positions. Any advantage Bowdoin had through the aggressiveness of her backs, was more than offset by her weakness in punting. Not only was the centre-rush inaccurate in passing the ball, but the few punts Upton was able to make went barely twenty-five yards. Superior though Harvard was in this respect, the kicking on her side was by no means satisfactory...
...pitching and fielding, Reid for his catching and batting. Hayes had absolute control over the ball with very good curves and speed. He gave no bases on balls and struck nine men out. Though the nine played with an encouraging amount of dash in the field, this was offset by its weak batting-the team seemed to refuse all chance of offensive play. Of the four hits made by Harvard, two were scratch hits. While the team has with one or two exceptions done well in the field, to finish the season well the nine must take the offensive...
...Meyer 1901, and G. O. Seward '98, will represent Columbia, the two substitutes being G. R. Jacobus '98, and K. G. Falk 1901 S. Columbia's players have one great drawback, in their inexperience, but to offset this they have had the best of coaching by H. N. Pillsbury, the well-known expert...
...football. McBride and Haughton both played best against the wind. McBride is party excusable for his poor kicking the first half, when his position so near the line enabled the Harvard forwards to break through on him repeatedly. During the first half Haughton kicked beautifully and did much to offset for Harvard the disadvantage of having to buck against the wind. In the second, with a high wind and wonderful protection on punts favoring him, his punts were shorter and less well placed. His catching was also rather uncertain and his running lacked method and decision...
