...progressive development which has marked the team, the defense was taken up earlier than the offense and has been worked to perfection. Equal care has been given to the offense only within the past week or ten days. Up to the Indian game, Harvard had not been scored upon and the scoring in that game was due to an individual weakness and to the presence of substitutes in the line. In the secret practices, W. H. Lewis has drilled the team in a defense to meet mass plays which, for its efficiency, depends on aggressiveness and mere strength. The second...

Four or five tricks have...
...number of important changes have been made in the line-up during the past two weeks, the most important of which was the shifting of McCracken from guard to halfback. Davidson, fullback, has been obliged to stop playing, and Barnard, a new man, has taken his place. Barnard is not Davidson's equal in a rushing game, but in punting he is fully as strong and is clever in kicking goals from the field.
