...Lathrop at the close of the freshman games yesterday afternoon remarked that the meeting had been most successful both in number of entries and in promising men. There were no records broken, and in some of the events the time was very slow, but the work of Bingham, Baker, Whitemore, Norton and Whiteside was very encouraging. Fenton also ran well and finished strong. With training he ought to develop into a fast runner...
...field to coach. The practice was interrupted constantly to give the men a chance to coach the men individually. Consequently the play was not intensely interesting, but when the men finally did some work they showed more shap than usual. Shea, however, at centre, continues to be pain fully slow, and his two guards follow his example. The teams yesterday played as follows...

Bowdoin's work on the whole, however, was utterly weak. They could make no headway through the crimson forwards in the first half and in-variably had to give up the ball on four downs.

Gardner had worse luck and lost the ball. The freshmen were very slow and again lost the ball on four downs Ninety-four lost the ball and the freshman made ten yards through the centre, but McNear was slow and ran into Ladd's arms. A poor pass helped the freshmen to get four downs, but in turn they forced Hoag to kick. Jackson made nothing around...
Take it all in all, then, Harvard's play, though decidedly stronger than it has been in many respects, was very much lacking in team work. In the first hall the interference was very poor and all the rush-line were slow. The men showed the need of more individual coaching. They will have to know the capabilities of their positions more thoroughly before they can be expected to develop a strong team game...
