...cadets' weak ends, every other time the ball came into Harvard's possession, the backs were sent into the line. The practice thus gained was of special value, as line plays and not end plays are of most avail against the strong teams to come.

The squad was cut down to seventy men on Monday, fifteen of whom will be taken to training-tale in about ten days...
