...with any exactness. The practice has consisted almost entirely of signal practice and scrub games against the substitutes and other class teams. The line is fairly heavy for a class team and the men are good individually, but they do not play well together. The backs are heavy but slow in starting, and the interference is not as compact as it should...
...forwards were much off in their play. Newtowne was held several times for downs or forced to punt, but on the offensive they were slow and erratic. Only one of Newtowne's punts was blocked and that by Garrison. Wheeler's game was unsatisfactory. He was careless in getting off-side and nearly always gave the play through him away by his eagerness. He and Haskell were both unwieldy in helping their backs in line plays. On the ends Lewis was easily eluded several times, as his eagerness caused him to over-run his man. Richardson continued his good work...
...annual Freshman fall track meeting was held on Holmes Field yesterday afternoon. The games on the whole were very uninteresting owing to the small number of entries and the slow time in which all the events were won. There were less entries than ever before in the Freshman games. There were no contestants in the 120 yds. and 220 yds. hurdles, the shot put, and hammer throw; and only two men in the high jump, pole vault, and 220 yds. dash. T. E. Burke, W. A. Applegate, A. W. Robinson and E. W. Mills did the best work. Burke easily...
...granted it must be, that for the past two years Harvard has made but little progress in debate in comparison with her rivals. It may be that we reached a climax beyond which it is difficult to go, several years since, and that the other colleges, where debating was slow in gaining a foothold, have been gaining ground faster, but this is difficult to believe. At all events, if there is any truth in this conjecture we want to see it contradicted this year, and the first step in this direction is a trial debate which will satisfy us that...
...backs played with a commendable amount of snap, though there still seemed to be the old fault of either starting a little ahead of the signals and thus making a change necessary, or of starting slowly. The weakness of the Brown line unquestionably covered up a good many slow starts. Dibblee played his usual star game, and by following his interference more closely, covered much ground on end plays. Sullivan made many good gains until he was injured and forced to leave the game. Aside from his deplorable failures at goal kicking, and his fumble of the second kick...
