...practice yesterday consisted in kicking and breaking through on kicks, and the first eleven went through signals. On the breaking through the first eleven was rather slow, often failing to stop the punt. On the defensive the men were better though still not as good as they should be. The first eleven lined up as follows...
Ninety-nine won the ball and Brown kicked off. '00 tried the ends and tackles for short gains and then Becker ran 20 yards on a fake-kick. Ninety-nine held well and took the ball on downs. Brown kicked and Becker was downed without gain. Becker returned the punt and '99 began to rush the ball towards the goal. On the 20 yard line '00 took the ball on downs and on the next play Parker lost ten yards on a good tackle by Sherwin. Becker kicked, but '99 got the ball on the 10 yard line, and after...
...Harvard and the Indian team Saturday afternoon was the most severe test which the Harvard team has played this season. The indians hammered away at the line every time they got the ball, in many instances making their distance on the fourth rush, and hardly ever resorting to a punt.

Short rushes carried the ball to the centre of the field and a punt gave it to '98 on her 15 yard line. Scull circled the left end for 20 yards, but the ball was lost. Sleeper was sent against right tackle, but, finding no one in his way he ran around the end for a touchdown. Hallowell kicked the goal...
...Sleeper, the other tackle, is not playing nearly as well as last year. The three centre men are all steady players. Garrison at quarterback is the mainstay of the team, as he has excellent judgment and puts lots of snap into the play. Hallowell can be depended on to punt well, though he is not particularly strong at running with the ball. Scattergood is a new man from Haverford, where he had quite a reputation as a football player. He has been laid up recently but will probably be all right on Friday. Little has improved rapidly and is likely...
