...work out the formations better, but there was no scrimmaging. All the men were out, including Browne, Corbett, and Hoar, who were laid off Wednesday and the team seemed in good shape. Kennard started the signal practice at fullback, Ver Wiebe substituting him later. Kennard is a fairly good punter, and on this account is at present first choice for his position. Ver Wiebe, however, carries the ball better, and forms good interference. Dunlap is doing good work at left guard, and shows improvement. Captain Burr was again on the side lines yesterday. Next week it is expected that...
Brown made only forty yards by scrimmaging during the whole game, and Captain Mayhew did not show up as well as was expected. He played a fast game, however, and the two ends, Dennie and Regnier, did splendid work. J. McKay, the fullback and punter, kicked well and made the greater part of Brown's gains...
...first half, the longest run of the day. Throughout the game his hard running was a feature. Newhall's work was exceptionally good. In spite of the bandage over his eye, he caught and ran back punts almost perfectly, and his generalship was excellent. Although not Harvard's regular punter, he was called on to do most of the kicking on account of Burr's being slightly overtrained and slow in getting his punts off. Newhall's punts were not as long as Coy's, but the shorter distance enabled the ends to cover them effectively. Macdonald's playing exceeded...
...made most of their gains around the ends. In the second half punts were repeatedly exchanged, Newhall relieving Burr of some of the kicking on account of the latter's injury. With Burr's ankle in good condition, Harvard would have had a great advantage over Douglass, the Navy punter, and as it was, Burr's kicks outdistanced his opponent's by from five to ten yards. One minute, the ball would be in the Navy's territory in Harvard's possession, only to be lost on an intercepted pass or kick, and then the condition would be reversed. This...
...should be a valuable man. Newhall makes an ideal quarterback, for, besides running the team well, he handles the ball with much surety on punts and is of the greatest service in making forward passes, onside kicks, and drop kicks. Next to Burr and Foster he is the best punter on the team. Hall, who is a very sure drop kicker, makes a fairly good quarterback but still lacks experience...
