...game yesterday against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was an improvement over the Amherst game, and an encouraging improvement, too, since Technology played a game very similar to Amherst's; they relied on push-plays through the tackles for their gains, just as Amherst did, but with this difference, that instead of bringing back their ends alone to make the play, they dropped their tackles back, too. For a time, in the first half, this play worked very successfully, and they forced Harvard back from the centre to the twenty-five yard line, and then again to the fifteen yard...
...Brewer's making a good run and touchdown. Goal, 6-0. Technology lost the ball after the V. and Corbett kicked. Andrews was rattled by the yelling of the Harvard ends and muffed, Hallowell getting the ball and scoring a touch-down. Goal, 12-0. Technology now used the push-play and forced the ball as has been described first to the twenty-five, and then to the fifteen yard-line, but lost it there on four downs, and did not again make any gains of note. Harvard, however scored two more touchdowns, one by Gage and one, by Corbett...
...bucking Trinity's line the Harvard back running with the ball was invariably sent ahead with the other backs to push. The ground was so slippery that the runner would very frequently tumble just at the line and all the backs on top of him. In the second half the "tandem" method was tried more successfully by sending one of the backs ahead of the runner. Trafford kicked occasionally to good advantage on the first or second down...
...this fund of $50,000. Exactly how much money has already been raised cannot be stated; but it is understood that the committee have met with some considerable success. Work can hardly be begun until next spring, but the committee hope to have sufficient money at that time to push on their undertaking rapidly to its completion. If their hopes are realized, the new field will be ready for use at the opening of college next year...
...Fine Arts. It is very probable however that first place will be won by Bloss, Thayer, Moen, Thompson, Hall, or Green. In the fifty yards hurdle, Fearing and Finneran (B. A. A.) are field favorites. J. Crane is looked upon as winner in the pole vault. although Wheelwright will push him very hard. In the running high jump Fearing is a probable winner and will make an effort to beat his record of two weeks ago; Morse and Green will make a close fight for second. First prize in the standing high jump will be won by Irwin or Bean...
