While the first team was going through its comparatively restful afternoon, the second team scrimmaged the scrubs. Bench, who has been on the sidelines since the Brown contest, renewed his acquaintance with the pigskin and ran the substitutes with Lindley, Scott and Cutler assisting him in carrying the ball. Both Lindley and Scott played for a few minutes against West Point. On the second string line were Coleman and Wolfe, ends; Root and Conway, tackles; Vandergrift and Frank Butterworth, guards, and Earl, center. Cutler took the ball over twice on line plunges but on two other occasions the scrubs were...
...Brown had been ahead by the hair's breadth of a field goal; after that they were four points behind. Demoralized by so abrupt a slight of fortune, they failed to stop Lindley of Yale from crossing the line again, went home defeated, 13 to 3. If the pigskin used in the Harvard-Dartmouth exhibition had been retained by the animal which it originally covered, then greased, and in that state put in play, the feats performed with it by the Crimson players might not have so dumbfounded those who looked on. They manipulated it, those Harvard mountebanks, after...
...victorious by the narrow margin of 6-0. Pfaffman was substituted at quarterback late in the third period, and the Holy Cross backfield came in for what seemed an obvious try for a goal from the field. Pfaffman made as if to drop the ball, and then hurled the pigskin to Cheek, who easily crossed the goal-line...
...almost entirely to his brilliant playing. It was not spectacular in that there were no length of the field runs but when one player can hit a line as heavy as Georgia's, carrying the ball himself in eleven out of thirteen plays, and in those plays, bringing the pigskin from one end of the field to the other, so that on the thirteenth play his teammate takes the ball over for the only score--then you can be sure that that player is a good back. That is what Eddie Cottle did against Georgia on Saturday. He was sent...
Team A recovered from its dullness and by brilliant gains soon had the pigskin down by its opponent's goal. Miller was largely responsible with two long runs, one of 18 yards, through the center of the line. An end run by Hammond was stopped before it got under way, but Miller again saved the day when he made another 18-yard gain on a criss-cross play. The ball was now on the second's 32-yard line. On the next play a short, wide forward from Hammond to Cheek completely fooled the scrubs and enabled Cheek to score...
