...promising candidates; they have worked hard and the team now chosen is well up to the Freshman standard. The line is heavy and holds well, though several of the men have a tendency to offside play. The backs are all good runners and follow their interference in good shape. Reid who has been playing an excellent game at fullback, is laid up at present, and his absence will weaken the team somewhat, especially in kicking. On the whole, the men are playing good football and should give a good account of themselves in today's game...
...Hanavan's run around Cochrane's end, and a few rushes by Bull, the second could gain little ground. Three touchdowns in all were scored during the ten minutes of play. Two of these were more or less sensational, and were due directly to the interference which swung into shape on the end plays much better than usual. The first touchdown was scored by Dibblee on a 90-yard end run. He was cleverly blocked off for past Litting and then had practically a clean field, although he was fruitlessly pursued by Hanavan to the goal line. The second touchdown...
...Freshman squad was given its regular practice in tackling and breaking through the line yesterday afternoon. The men are in good shape and get into their plays with a great amount of life and strength. The second squad is receiving careful coaching and is showing up very well. After the regular practice yesterday the second team lined up against the second '98 team and in a half of fifteen minutes the Freshmen managed to score six points to their opponents' nothing. Sanborn made the touchdown for the 1901 team and Flint kicked the goal...
...touchdown, the Freshman team showed up very promisingly. They showed an unfortunate tendency for off-side play, however, and although penalized several times for this, escaped unseen many times when Exeter should have been given yards. The backs all did fine work and followed their interference in good shape. Kendall and Ellis were the best ground gainers, while Reid was not up to his usual form...
...centre, make a very strong trio for the line. Cadwalader is also very sure on a kick. Allen, Marshall and Post are all good at tackle, and Captain Rodgers, who has only been in the line-up for a short time so far, promises to be in even better shape than last year. Hall, Hazen, Dudley and Warner have all been tried at end and there seems to be little choice between them...
