...first eleven's offensive play was lack of team work. The linemen were not aggressive enough, and did not charge together. They failed, also, to pull the runner along effectively, and were rather weak in opening up holes, especially on the left side of the line. The runners were slow in starting and did not hit the line with enough force. The interference, though at times good, was very erratic. On defensive play the most noticeable fault of the first team was the slowness of the ends in getting down the field under punts...
...captain and two other players. The Groton team gained most of its ground through the right side of the Freshman line and did so at will. For Harvard the bulk of the work was done by Bunting at right halfback. The interference was almost always ragged and slow in forming. A rally after Groton had scored enabled Randall to make a touchdown, but the punt-out was fumbled and no goal could be kicked...
...closely followed by the backs, but the excellent work of Carlisle's ends prevented long end gains. The interference which formed for Kernan's 50 yard run was the best this season. Harvard, however, had many faults which would have resulted seriously against a heavier team. The linemen were slow in charging, and the backs at times hesitated in starting with the ball. The plays were run off slowly and not with sufficient dash to them. The players were slow in getting down on punts and when they got down did not tackle low or surely enough. The tackling...
...tackles were the strongest places in the line, Blagden and Cutts both opening holes for frequent gains. Both were slow in running with the ball. Lee and Barnard played noticeably well, breaking through the line and dragging the plays along. Barnard against Wheelook was especially capable and played with considerable spirit. Clark was quick to recover fumbles, but was slow in getting down the field. He defended his end well except when he allowed himself to be boxed on Johnson's run for 20 yards. Campbell prevented gains around his end, but was not always able to get Hare...
Unexpected and important changes have just been made in the Yale eleven. Hogan, who early in the season showed great promise as a tackle, has been playing a slow game recently; and on Wednesday was sent to the scrub, Hamlin a substitute on last year's team replacing him. Hamlin is not brilliant, but is so steady and reliable that he has a good chance of holding right tackle. His weight is also in his favor. Goss, who has played steadily at left tackle, was very weak in the Bates game, and as he failed to improve, he has been...
