...interfered in good style. Bowditch played a brilliant game in all but one particular. He was slow in getting down the field on kicks, but though he did not tackle the player who caught the ball, succeeded in turning him in. Bowditch was very valuable in helping the runner along, and succeeded in adding materially to the ground gained. Campbell was also slow in getting down on kicks, and did not get into the plays as actively as did Bowditch...
...Freshman eleven defeated the Massachusetts Institute of Technology sophomores on Saturday by a score of 17 to 0. The Freshmen showed themselves superior in every department of the game, in spite of their ragged playing. Their interference formed loosely, started slowly and aided the runner little. The runners failed to charge at the line with any force and did not keep their feet. The failure of the ends to get down under punts quickly was perhaps partly due to the repeated holding by their opponents. There was a great deal of fumbling and off-side play on both sides...
...Contrary to expectations, Harvard proved stronger in line plays than those around end. The excellent interference which resulted in the long end runs in the Brown and Carlisle games, was entirely lacking and what gains were made around end were due to the individual work of the runner and the interference and assistance given after the runner had passed the line. In line plays the men were somewhat slow in starting, but the team worked well together, helped the runner along and when once under way, did some effective rushing. On the defense the linemen were remarkably successful in breaking...
...playing a reliable game and although he did not come out until late, is rapidly getting into form. He is extremely valuable in helping the runner along, but has a tendency to play high. Barnard has shown very great improvement. He plays with more spirit and fight than formerly and uses his head. He, as well as Lee, is effective in helping the runner along. At the beginning of the season Sargent was most unpromising, but lately he has shown the result of persistent coaching. He plays with unexpected dash, and is active in getting into the plays. His passing...
...line, Howard at quarterback, has proved a worthy successor to Graves of last year's eleven. He runs the team with good judgment and is a strong tackler. Reynolds at left halfback is one of the best players the team has had for some time. He is a speedy runner, strong punter, and together with Davidson, forms the mainstay of the defense. Snook has been playing regularly at right halfback, but in case of injury to Howard, will be used at quarter, in which event Dale will replace...
