...game was an improvement on Saturday's game with the English High, still if '94 has any idea of winning the class championship she cannot rest on the laurels of yesterday's game. Lee at centre has strengthened that part of the team somewhat but he was slow at snapping back the ball. Cabot played at quarter after Earle was compelled to leave from an injury to his knee. It was his first game this season and he showed a lack of practice, but otherwise did well. The ends were slow on getting down on a kick and there...
...keeps well on his feet. The play of Harvard's backs was the only thing that won the game, for the rush-line work was abomniably weak from start to finish. Newell and Emmons were the only men who played in anything like 'varsity form. The ends were very slow in getting down on the ball, and Exeter's backs repeatedly went through the centre...

After a quarter of an hour's practice in this the men were given a chance to rest...
Practice lasted about half an hour, the first eleven having the ball half the time, after that giving it up to the second. The play showed plenty of life, especially on the part of the first eleven's backs, but the second eleven's backs were slow, fumbled badly, and did not get their heads down. Dean was out coaching the quarter backs, white Captain Trafford looked after the other men. Adams and Stewart, who coached the team last year, will again give their advice this year, and Cumnock, who gets back from Europe about the 15th...
