...game for over two weeks with a torn ligament, was noticeable throughout. For the Seniors, Fales played a splendid game, being especially quick in running back punts. Russell also filled his position well. On the whole, the game was marked by an aggressive offense and a slow defense by both sides, the Freshmen being slightly superior in both respects. Both teams were inclined to play too high. The summary: 1911 1908. Corbett, Rogers, l.e. r.e., J. Parke Harding, Jowett, l.t. r.t., Leland Dunlap, l.g. r.g., P. Burt Smith, c. c., G. Burt Comstock Barber, Blanchard, r.g. l.g., Russell Oveson, Mackay...
Westmorly was rather a disappointment; the men rowed a long and slow, but rather dead, stroke, and were never in the race at all. Starting about a length and a half behind Randolph, they finished at least double that distance behind. Dunster-Russell got off well at the start, but were never able to gain on Westmorly, and it was soon apparent that they would be overtaken by Mt. Auburn Street. The bump took place at the beginning of the last long stretch. Hollis-Holworthy-Stoughton was another disappointment, and was being left far behind by Mt. Auburn Street, when...
...Annapolis game, the work of the backs was very ragged and they were slow in sizing up the opponent's plays. Starr made several sensational tackles in the backfield, but in other ways was not up to the usual standard. Apollonio did well and his line bucking was a future. Much of the credit for Apollonio's gains through the line is due to Rand, however, who pulled him along on every play till the ball was actually downed. He followed the ball closely, was all over the field, and played a hard, fast game. However, he was the only...
...general, the Harvard line-men did good work. Macdonald was down well under punts but his tackling wasn't sure. Forster was a little slow and was inclined to be drawn in on end plays, but he helped the backs along well on the offense. Burr played well, both offensively and defensively, and his recovery of his first blocked kick was a very fast piece of work. He seemed to be somewhat slow in getting his punts off, but did not have adequate protection when called on to kick. Fish put up a good game on the offense and tackled...
...long race, would tell against them. Mount Auburn Street, on the other hand, rows in better form, and pulls a livelier stroke, but fails in point of power. The Claverly eight contains several experienced men and, though as a crew they are rather inclined to be slow and ponderous, the men row in fairly good form and with some power...
