...gaining ability which is essential in a Yale tackle. Holt has been playing consistently at centre, and Hamlin is a promising substitute for this position as well as for tackle, where he has already played in a number of games this season. Glass, right guard, is the most brilliant player on the team. He is very prominent in the interference and, with Hogan, right tackle, another very aggressive player, makes his side of the line exceptionally strong. Hogan has been doing remarkable work in advancing the ball...
...ball with strength and intelligence. He was quicker in starting and kept his feet longer than usually. He interfered in good style. Bowditch played a brilliant game in all but one particular. He was slow in getting down the field on kicks, but though he did not tackle the player who caught the ball, succeeded in turning him in. Bowditch was very valuable in helping the runner along, and succeeded in adding materially to the ground gained. Campbell was also slow in getting down on kicks, and did not get into the plays as actively as did Bowditch...
...season Sargent was most unpromising, but lately he has shown the result of persistent coaching. He plays with unexpected dash, and is active in getting into the plays. His passing has improved, but this is still not as accurate as it might be. Marshall is a brilliant player and with careful coaching should improve greatly. He is particularly effective in running back punts, but is not always as sure in catching them as is necessary. He goes into the interference in good style, and inspires a great deal of confidence in the backs. Kernan has been playing a strong game...
...football team were less bright than those of any other of the larger colleges. Hare left guard, McCloskey, centre, Wallace and Zimmerman, tackles, and the entire back field including McCracken had graduated, and only three members of last year's eleven had returned. In reorganizing the team, the old players, W. Gardiner, right end, and Teas; right-guard, were retained at their former positions, but Captain Davidson was moved from left end to fullback, where he has played very consistently throughout the season. The new material was of hardly more than average ability. Most of the candidates were comparitively...
...Dale. Townsend played a brilliant game at end on the scrub team last year, and will probably play this year either at half or end. Davidson, end last year, is playing fullback. He is good as a ground gainer, but has few other characteristics of a good football player. Reynolds, his substitute, is more brilliant...
