...improvement in either the individual or team work of the eleven. That the coaches have felt that the development has not been what it should, is shown by the numerous shifts made in the line-up during the latter part of the week. The ends fail to show expected progress under rigorous coaching and the tackles give evidence of discouraging weakness in their defensive play. In the centre of the line the situation, as has been the case all year, is more encouraging. The three centre men work together smoothly and are gaining in speed...
...this good quality lacked the merit of regularity,-as sometimes the man with the ball was thrown for a loss for want of careful or effective interference. Plays were also frequently betrayed by men starting before the ball was passed; new signals had to be given and the progress of the game was retarded. The line showed some improvement but could do no more than hold its own, as the lighter Brown team was quicker on every play and in most cases kept the men too busily occupied with their own positions to be of much assistance in other parts...
...line without fight, not over-reliable ends, easily-broken interference, and unsteady backs are not the elements which compose a successful eleven, yet some-how the team with its many weaknesses. has managed to win all its games so far from much lighter opponents. Slow spasmodic progress has made the present strength of the team a trifle uncertain, but at no time has the eleven displayed any abilities that would justify confidence in its success when matched against an opponent of more than average weight or experience. Both these latter qualities are components of the Brown team, and added...
...Freshman eleven will play its third game of the season today against Phillips Andover, at Andover. The progress of the Freshmen thus far has been far from satisfactory. In the line-ups this week, the second team has had little difficulty in making consistent gains through their line, and the offense, although fast at times, has been ragged and unformed. Andover, on the other hand, has an especially strong team this year, having been scored on but once...
...progress of the game was very slow and, on account of the frequent injuries and consultations, extended over a period of two hours. Harvard was the first to score. Mills ran the kick-off in 25 yards and four plays through centre by Stillman and Mills covered the remaining 10 yards to the middle of the field. Then followed a series of end and formation plays, varying in their gains from 1 to 5 yards, which eventually brought the ball to West Point's 7 yard line. Leatherbee made half a yard through left tackle, and two formations with Jones...
