...played more or less in the field, but is not a very sure man outside of the diamond. McClintock, '90, played right field in two of the championship games last year, when both Kellogg and Brigham were away. He covers his ground well, but is not very quick in fielding the ball. His batting is not above the average...
...game began at 3.30 with the ball in Exeter's possession. Exeter started in with great snap and in three or four quick rushes placed the ball behind the goal line of the surprised freshmen.

The Williams quarter back makes a foul and Harvard takes the ball in the middle of the field. It is passed to Porter who carries it behind the goal posts...
...occupy his old position in the rush line. Woodruff, Gill and Carter are all crew men, and they make a trio in the foot-ball team that will make it exceedingly hot for opposing elevens. Harry Beecher is doing his old-time work as quarter-back. He is as quick as a cat and as strong as a moose. He is the captain of the team, and as such is well liked by all the men, from whom he bids fair to get the best work of which they are capable...
