...Junior eleven showed good team play, considering the short time it has been practicing, but it could not gain through Milton's line, and was too slow to make long end runs possible. Evarts made the only substantial gain for the Juniors, running a punt back 45 yards. The Milton team, although largely composed of second-team men, played a hard game, but was not able to gain consistently on account of fumbling. It made its best gains by well-executed forward passes from R. Wigglesworth to Pratt. Milton's goal was threatened only once, after Evart's long...
After the kickoff to the second, the latter punted after one play. Then the first, on the second's 30-yard line, tried on onside kick, which was blocked by Dore. Two tandem plays through tackle and a punt gave the first the ball again on their 45-yard line. Wendell, on a double pass, made an excellent onside kick, which was recovered on the second's 50-yard line by Fish. From there, by an end run, Wendell, with clever assistance from Newhall, made 25 yards. An intercepted onside kick gave the second the ball, and they punted...
After the punt-out to the first team, Rand, on a tandem through left tackle, gained 20 yards on one play and five on the next. Newhall then threw a for- ward pass to Fish on the 5-yard line. A tandem was thrown back for a loss, and Newhall tried a pass to Wendell on the 4-yard line. A left-tackle plunge failed to gain, and on the subsequent forward pass, Davis fell on the ball behind the line for the second touchback, when time was called...
Smith kicked off for Brown and Burr-made a return punt. More punts followed, interspersed with runs by Mayhew and Newhall. Finally Burr's long kicks began to tell and the ball was confined to Brown's territory. Soon, Harvard secured the ball on Brown's 41-yard line and Rand gained 15 yards through left tackle on the first play. Apollonio followed with 17 more through right tackle and three more short gains put the ball on Brown's 2-yard line, where the latter held. They then carried the ball down to Harvard's 13-yard line before...
...defeated by Worcester Academy, at Worcester, on Saturday, by the score of 6 to 0. Worcester scored a goal from the field and a safety in the first half. The most noticeable feature of the game was an 85-yard run by Greenwood, Worcester's quarterback, who received a punt on his own 10-yard line, and ran to Harvard's 15-yard line, where he was tackled by Johnson. The Academy's field-goal was kicked from the 25-yard line, where the ball had been carried from Worcester's 35-yard mark, in seven rushes...
