...line. For this reason there was very little work for the defensive backs. On the other hand, the second team line was strong and, except toward the end of the period, no substantial gains were made by the University backfield. Gardner, who alternated with Potter at quarterback, ran the team well and succeeded in working three forward passed for a total of 40 yards. Wendell and Graustein were the most effective in advancing the ball. Altogether the practice showed a steady improvement and an evidence of excellent material for nearly every position...
...forward pass for the first team was the only feature until T. Frothingham dropped the ball between the posts from the 15-yard line for the first score. The second team then kicked off to Potter, who ran it back 15 yards. Neither side could gain through the line, so Potter punted to the second's 20-yard line. After two ineffectual attempts by the backs, Page punted to Potter on the first team's 40-yard line. Wendell made it first down through tackle but the second's defence stiffened after the ball had been worked...
Withington received the kick-off and ran 30-yards before being downed. T. H. Frothingham made 15 yards through centre, and Campbell added 10 more around right end. After several line plays, Leslie went over for the first touchdown. The second team kicked off to Felton, who ran the ball to the 45-yard line. Potter immediately kicked, but the second team was unable to gain, and the University team recovered the ball by blocking Callendar's kick. A forward pass was intercepted, the University team thereby losing the ball. The second made first down by hard line plunging...
With Minot, McKay, and P. D. Smith in the University line, the second team kicked off. Minot received the ball on the 25-yard line and ran it back for 50 yards before he was downed. Then the University backs advanced the ball without much difficulty for a touchdown. In the remaining time two more touchdowns were scored, Campbell, who took Corbett's place, being especially effective at circling both the second team's ends. The latter, in comparison with Lewis and Smith, the University ends, were slow in getting down under punts. Consequently the University backs got free...
Sweetser's opponent in the final round was Holden of Yale. In the first set Sweetser's strokes were all working well and he won easily 6-3. Then Holden followed up his serve to the net and ran up whenever possible. Sweetser, however, came in seldom. This set showed Holden Sweetser's weakness and he was able to win the next two sets easily by the scores of 6-2 and 6-3. Sweetser showed greater care at the beginning of the fourth set. With Holden serving, Sweetser reached 5-6, 15-40, but Holden deuced the score...
