...Priceton team. Time 23 minutes. On changing sides again, Harvard showed up better and continued to force things more than at first. But princeton still made many desperate attacks on their goal. While the ball was being played in the centre of the field, Churchill, '86, threw a beautiful overhand shot, sticks were checked, and the ball unmolested went through the Princeton goal on the first bounce. About eleven minutes had been taken to score this goal and only seven more remained before the hour and a half were up. The play of Harvard was very vigorous in an attempt...

...offence men keep the ball so well in hand at their end of the field that defence men fail to get their share of work. In today's game they will probably have enough to occupy their attention. Bradford plays brilliantly at times. and runs very fast, but misses overhand throws. He should be a little more sure on defence, and try catching long flies.

The return to 'square pitching,' as it called, is out of the question, as that would involve a return to the old time scores of a hundred and odd runs to a game. Under the existing rules there is too much 'battery' work in a match...

...exigencies of a match. On the other hand, the defence is strong and the team catch well and play a persistent and vigerous game. It would be well for the players to practice the throwing feint, so common in Canada. The player feints at throwing under or overhand and escapes a check by quickly reversing his throw. Most of the team, however, use but one style of throw. The attack men especially should practice feinting, dodging and passing. If the team try hard to remedy their defects before the 10th, we think they can play an even game with...
