...Freshman basketball team defeated the Volkmann School team in the latter's gymnasium yesterday afternoon by the score of 25 to 14. On account of the small size of the floor good team play was impossible. The Freshmen excelled in speed and in ability to throw baskets, although many easy chances were missed by both teams. The score at the end of the first half was 14 to 10 in favor of the Freshmen, but during the first few minutes of the second half Volkmann made four goals in rapid succession, thus tying the score. After this, however, the Freshmen...
...Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from 8 to 9 o'clock, until the University squad is picked. W. T. Harrison '05 and H. P. Pratt '05 will coach the men individually in the Trudgeon and side strokes, the coaching being directed chiefly toward improvement in form rather than increased speed...
...Harvard players, Captain Hurley was unquestionably foremost in knowledge of the game, in speed and aggressiveness on the offense, in dash and reliability of his defensive play, and in the unconquerable spirit with which he led his team. He gained Harvard's only first down in the first half practically unaided, and made the most and longest gains in the second. His brilliant tackles were the most spectacular plays of the game and time after time stopped Yale's attacks on all parts of the Harvard line. Mills, too, played a brilliant game. His tackling in the open...
...first game of the season, with Williams, was won by a score of 24 to 0. In this game the eleven showed speed and aggressiveness and gave promise of further satisfactory progress. Games with Bowdoin and the University of Maine, however, although won by scores of 17 to 0 and 23 to 0, respectively, disclosed a weakness in the Harvard defense which has been apparent ever since. On October 11, the team defeated Bates 11 to 0. The low score was due partly to unfavorable conditions of weather and field, but also to general lack of ability and aggressiveness...
...open, Randall was easily the most reliable end, and made several excellent dive-tackles. Matthews, who replaced him toward the end of the game, also played well. In the backfield Foster was clearly the strongest player on the offense. He hit the Holy Cross line with such force and speed that he was able to gain his distance almost every time, and in eight plays just outside tackle he made several gains of from 15 to 30 yards each. At quarterback both Starr and Noyes played well. Starr again proved a most reliable tackler in the open field...
