...Freshman eleven, which was played with Exeter on Soldiers Field, Saturday afternoon, resulted in a tie, neither side being able to score. The Freshmen played a mediocre game. They tackled well, but fumbled a great deal and ran too high. Only once, in the second half, did it seem likely that they would score, but the ball was lost and Brill quickly punted it out of danger. Exeter, on the other hand, played a sharp and fast game, but missed the chance to score by attempting four goals from the field, which were all unsuccessful. Had they adopted a line...
...Point today. In addition to the twenty-three men who were mentioned in the CRIMSON yesterday, Daly went with the team and will probably play in the first half. Except for Boal, Reid and Parker, therefore, the whole squad is in condition to play. Although West Point does not seem to have as good a team as in previous years, it will be the first strong one Harvard has met this season, and the game will be some criterion of the ability of the eleven...
...preliminary practice yesterday again included a good deal of breaking through for the line-men, under the direction of M. Donald '99, W. H. Lewis L. S. '95, and J. Cranston '91. Although the men are picking up points every day from the coaches, they do not seem to apply them in the line-up. In Dibblee's absence, J. L. Knox '98 and J. A. Sullivan '97 looked after the backs and the punting. Except for some work of Reid's after the baseball practice was over, the kicking was decidedly mediocre. Sawin and Hallowell have good form...
...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 the excellence of which he is capable. Though apt to become over-anxious and get off-side, J. Lawrence, it would seem, has some chance of supplacing Swain. To hold his place, the latter must show some of that improvement, which has characterized Reid's playing. Yet the season is still so early, that there is chance enough through the excellent coaching that is being given by W. H. Lewis...
Harvard plays the first game of the Yale series this afternoon on Soldiers Field at 3 o'clock. After recently defeating Princeton in two successive games, Yale would seem to have a decided advantage over Harvard. Yale's nine not only made more hits in the series, but also showed far more life and spirit than did Harvard in the two Princeton games. In fact Yale has shown a remarkable improvement over her play early in the season...
