...however, for playing the strongest game of any team which Harvard has met this year. Harvard's line was not quick in charging and did not play well together, often starting ahead of the ball and being frequently penalized for so doing. The Harvard backs were unsteady and often slow in starting, and, with the exception of Graydon, seemed unable to gain ground consistently. There was very little interference and even that was broken up because of the weakness of the tackles. To this weakness of the tackles was due Dartmouth's ability to gain through the line...
...much by the interference. Clark got down quickly on punts and tackled well. Marshall played a sure game at quarterback and used judgment in running plays. Daly, who took his place, besides running the team well, made a drop-kick goal from the 30 yard line. He was slow in getting away his punts. Graydon was the only one of the backs who could gain ground steadily. Putnam punted poorly and did not follow his interference closely. Derby, Jones and Devens gained some ground at times, but were not reliable enough, McGrew kept his feet well and was able...
...fewer changes made during the season than the Newell crews and consequently row better together. Also there has been more material to pick from at the Weld, although the first Newell has more experienced oarsmen than the first Weld. The chief fault of the first Weld is its slow, lifeless stroke, which causes the men to hang at the full reach and to lack leg-drive. The first Newell has more snap, but is inclined to slump and to wash out at the finish...
...mile and seven eighths course yesterday. The first crew gave the second five seconds, and the third crew ten seconds. At the finish the positions of the first and second crews were unchanged, and the third was about three lengths behind the first. The stroke of the first was slow from start to finish and there was no life in the boat. The second crew rowed a quick, snappy stroke, but were inclined to rush forward. The third crew rowed in good form, but they lack the weight and strength of the other crews. Wray followed the race...
...interference. Although Lawrence did not play long enough to show his endurance, he did some fast defensive work. Unsteadiness on the offense was his worst fault. Burgess hesitated to get into the plays, but did not allow gains around his end. Marshall ran the team very sensibly, although slow in getting the plays off. His fumbling was costly and inexcusable. He passed the ball well until the end of the second half when an injury to his neck made him erratic. Baldwin, who took his place, did not use the best of judgment and was a trifle unsteady. Putnam played...
