...plays did not run off as fast as with Starr in the game, but Newhall, on the whole, used good generalship and his work in catching punts was excellent, in view of the speed and reckless tackling of the Dartmouth ends. Although White was the weakest of the linemen, many gains were made between Kersburg and Squires. Brill and Squires were the most reliable ground-gainers for Harvard, and used with success a new tackleback formation. Harrison was by far the best defensive back, and time and again was effective by stopping plays which had broken through weak places...
Coach Brown kicked off for the second team to Wendell, who ran back 10 yards to the 20-yard line. A run around right end added eight yards. On the next play the ball was carried outside on the 31-yard line. Brill punted to Gilder, who made a reckless hurdle, but failed to get through the line. The second gained its distance once, but was then held for downs on the 50-yard line. Foster punted to Gilder, who made a splendid catch. An exchange of kicks by Burr and Brill netted about 15 yards for the second eleven...
...been necessary in many positions. Fischel, centre fielder, covers his position well and throws in accurately. Although a fairly good hitter, he is apt to misjudge the ball and is slow in running bases. Ware, left fielder, fields and throws well. He is a strong hitter, but is a reckless base-runner. McNeil, in right field, bats fairly well, but is not a good thrower and is slow in the field and on the bases. Thomas, at third base, is erratic in fielding and throwing. He is a poor hitter with a tendency to offer at bad balls...
...consistently fast game at shortstop, but his batting and base-running are only fair. Garceau, who is also trying for the same position, is rather irregular in his playing. Of the catchers, Quigley has a fast throw and is improving in judgment. He is, however, careless at bat and reckless in base-running. Hellman, thought handicapped by an injury earlier in the season, is now improving consistently. Newhall, in left field, throws well, but plays a slow game. His batting and base-running are irregular. Sperry, the other candidate for this position, is a sure fielder. He is, however, weak...
...very short stories, "Joe's Denial" and "An Accepted Story," by R. A. Wood '03, deal with somewhat similar subjects in very much the same way. Both of them are rather interesting and show spirit, but at times, there is almost too strong a suggestion of the proverbial reckless undergraduate in them. Of the other stories, "The Fountain of Pirene," by A. D. Ficke '04, is the most original, and of the greatest merit. It is simply told and the descriptive words running through it are natural and effective...
