...team-play, the work of the University team could hardly be identified with what has passed for team-play previously this season. In that particular the improvement was great and genuine. But in defensive play there was little reliability, little consistent strength. Occasionally a play was stopped with a loss: but usually if a gain was very much needed by Pennsylvania the Harvard team did not evidence strength enough to prevent it. Harvard once lost the ball on downs in midfield and again was unable in three tries to carry the ball across Pennsylvania's five-yard line...
Preliminary practice began with the usual kicking and catching of punts, after which the coaches gave particular attention to coaching the men in tackling, and falling on the ball.

Particular attention was paid by the coaches to fumbling. Owing to the interchange of men on the two teams, their strength was evenly balanced and each held the other frequently for downs. Both Parkinson and Knowlton, tackles, ran with the ball in the signal practice, but no attempt was made at this in the scrimmage...
Neither "The Wedge of Gold" nor "The Room Mates" are of particular literary merit. The first has to do with the pecuniary difficulties of a South American ranchman and senator, coupled with a bank failure. The second is only saved from being dull by the imaginative and novel style in which it is written. "In a Fog" is a lively bit of narrative. The two pieces of verse in the number are up to the usual standard of the Advocate...
