...team of Swedish players from the Prospect Union defeated the University soccer team yesterday afternoon by a score of 1 to 0 in a close but slow and loosely played game. The team did not show much snap or finish; the excellent individual play of Nichols, Kingman, and Carnochan was the redeeming feature from the Harvard point of view...
...three University crews have had a week of steady improvement. The cooler weather seems to have given them a snap that was lacking before and both coach Wray and Captain Reynolds are satisfied that they will do good work in the race in the Basin on next Tuesday. During the first part of the week the crews took long, easy paddles, Coach Wray paying particular attention to the quick pull through and slow recovery which makes the boat run between strokes. Yesterday and the day before the crews tried racing starts and fast stretches at 32 to 36 strokes...
...exactly reversed, Logan running Team A, Freedley Team B, and Bradlee being kept on the sidelines. This change was due to the fact that in Saturday's game Logan, who played during the third period, showed vastly better generalship than either of the others. Bradlee's work lacked snap, and he showed a marked tendency to fumble and miss signals. The shift is, of course, wholly conditional on the showing of the men in the latter games...
...shows clearly that the University team had things its own way. What the score fails to show, however, is that the game had all the ear-marks of the opening game of a season, from fumbling to a complete lack of snap in almost all of the play. What was seen clearest of all was that the 1913 Harvard team needs the services of an accurate punter. The University team, aside from showing a lack in this department, gave very little idea of what may be expected of it ultimately, for it was at no time hard pressed, the visitors...
...relieved by Felton. The former did creditable work, aside from being a trifle wild, but was given wretched support. Only two of the visitors' runs were earned, the remainder coming from errors by Harvard. Aside from the actual blunders, the University team fielded slowly and seemed to lack the snap which has characterized the work of the last two weeks. Felton pitched good ball until the last inning when, with two out, a single, a three-bagger, and a wild pitch, gave Holy Cross two more runs...
