...varsity practice yesterday was not encouraging judging it from the ordinary standpoint. The playing was slow and lacking in life. There was creditable individual work in many cases, but taking the practice as a whole, it was of the kind to set the man who always sees flaws in preference to good points, harping about the falling off in the standard of playing. Such a person is but a superficial observer. While yesterday's work was by no means the best that has been seen this year, it is not just to criticise it harshly. Advancement is often being made...
...usual. Many of the substitutes were worked in, and the make up considerably changed. Parker did perhaps the best work, playing about as well as he has at any time this season. Whittren, Collamore and A. Brewer also watched their ends carefully and made some good tackles. Fairchild was slow at quarter and did not run his team with as much snap as he might have. Phelan of the junior eleven played fullback, but dropped the ball badly and missed an easy tackle which resulted in a goal...
...made, but there was no visible improvement. The game played by the freshmen is not characterized by the least semblance of team work. If they wish to make a presentable showing in the class games, they must manifest more energy and interest. Barton and Watson played well. Dean was slow in giving the signals. Ninety-five were heavier than the freshmen, and made gains continually by "mass plays." Whittemore played a good game...
...weight. R. Beals, Wrenn, and Harding played well, breaking through and tackling repeatedly. Borden and Gardner, aided by the interference, made several long gains. Cabot, at quarter, did good work. Later in the game he was compelled to give way to Earle. Ninety-four were very slow in lining up and this fault, together with the tendency of the backs to start too quickly, are the most noticeable defects in their play. At present the team is badly handicapped by the crippled condition of the backs. Borden and Gardner are both suffering from lameness, and Harrison, who has been laid...
...light even for a class eleven and are very slow in their play. They do not play well together and there is little interference shown by the backs. It is hoped, however, that during the next week, under the coaching of Adams, Davis and Wadsworth, the eleven will make a cecided gain and get into such shape as to make a good showing in the class games...
