...Freshman quarterback, played the greater part of the one half of about ten minutes. He passed with a fair degree of accuracy, was effective as an interferer and keyed the eleven up to fast offensive football. Peyton, also, who completely outclassed Swain in Thursday's practice, was tried at right tackle on the first eleven in Lawrence's place. He is a valuable man on the defense and has an aggressive style of play. The success of Sawin at left half necessitated the playing of Warren at fullback. All these changes and the presence of a weak left end, degenerated...
...every inning which he pitched. Of the new men, F. Jacques '03, caught well behind the bat, and made a number of good stops of low balls and pick-ups. H. Keene '01, made the best play of the day by stopping a line hit to right field, and getting his man out at first...
...could be found to fill with credit almost any position. Only in the centre is there a certain weakness. But the appearance yesterday in the play of A. R. Sargent will do something toward strengthening that part of the line. As Kendall is now playing rather better at right half than at left, there is little to choose between the three backs--Kendall, Warren and Parker. A bit unsatisfactory, still, is the work of the tackles. Eaton plays too desultorily; and Swain, who was so strong a tackle two years ago on the 'Varsity, has not yet even approached...
...number of changes made in the line-up of the first eleven yesterday had the effect of bracing the play to a large extent. Parker was tried at left halfback, Kendall went to right half, and Warren played with the substitutes. They all played a strong and fast game and made several long runs. The presence of Reid at fullback also steadied the back field to a great extent. Baldwin, a Freshman from Exeter, was tried at quarterback, but as he was not used to the Harvard way of snapping the ball back, he was erratic in his passing...
...probable make-up of the eleven, Cunnha, who played on the Freshman eleven, may be counted upon to fill Cutten's place at centre. For right guard, the three prominent candidates are Brown, the left guard's younger brother, who has played on the Groton school eleven the past two years; Gaylord, the former Lawrenceville guard; and Young '01, who was on last year's scrub. It is in filling right tackle, ex-Captain Chamberlin's position, that the most difficulty is anticipated. Not only are the candidates for it players of little experience, but they have shown nothing more...
