...whether light fast backs are not more effective than the heavy men used early in the season. This question is still undecided, but as Fincke and Chadwick were very successful in the Princeton game it is probable that they will be used against Harvard. Sharpe, however, is the best punter on the team and is very strong in defense, so he may be given a chance, especially as Fincke may be needed at quarter. Wear is a better general, passes more quickly and accurately, and is more inspiring to the team, but he is not quite so steady as Fincke...
...centre Sargent was quick and active, and put plenty of spirit into his play, but was unsteady in his passing. Once he passed the ball back over Daly's head and several other times he sent the ball so low that only very quick work by the punter made it possible to get the ball away. In the back field Harvard had an excellent combination in Sawin, Kendall and Ellis. Sawin was successful on end runs, Kendall could be used to advantage against the tackles while Ellis could be depended upon in bucking the centre. Although not so successful...
...considered. Captain Baldwin will make a good quarterback, with a chance for the first eleven when Daly leaves. Nickerson, tackle, and Clark, end, are both promising players. Hersey is a good running halfback, but has little idea of team play. Kernan, substitute back, has great abilities as a punter, which could well be developed...
...backs are well up to the standard, though in the harder games already played, they have not shown the strength in line bucking which was expected on account of their weight. McBride has maintained his reputation as a punter and line bucker, and it is largely to his careful coaching and management that the excellent development of the team...
...Indian game and the secret practices have shown that Hallowell is the most reliable and effective punter on the team. He places his kicks and works well with the ends. Reid, however, has shown steady improvement in this department of the game, and Sawin, who has fallen off, however, since the middle of the season, can be called on to punt in emergencies. The principal weakness of the team at present is fumbling kicks--a weakness which gave the Indians their touchdown. Sawin, who is strong on catching punts, plays in the backfield with Daly, and together they are sure...
