Although somewhat crippled, the Harvard eleven will begin the game against Pennsylvania with a much stronger eleven than the one which lined up against Princeton two weeks ago. Wheeler and Haughton strengthen the tackles, and with Cabot on left end and Captain Wrightington behind the line, the team should make the best showing of the year...
...very active, and his experience at half is valuable in running with the ball. Crowdis, last year's substitute centre will play left guard. Although he is slow and poor at breaking through, he has improved greatly in his tackling during the last week, and his 225 pounds will strengthen the defence of the centrmen...
...except Norton Shaw, whose knee still troubles him a little. It is barely possible, but hardly probable, that Wheeler will be able to play in the Princeton game. Donald may get around into shape for the Pennsylvania game. However, if Brewer and Cabot are on the ends they should strengthen the tackles materially...
...except O'Connor, Little and Scattergood played last year. Rantoul and Fenno, the two ends, play a reliable game, though Fenno has some trouble in following the ball on account of weak eyes. Scannell has only played a few days, but is in good condition and will strengthen the line immensely. Sleeper, the other tackle, is not playing nearly as well as last year. The three centre men are all steady players. Garrison at quarterback is the mainstay of the team, as he has excellent judgment and puts lots of snap into the play. Hallowell can be depended...
Marshall Newell will in all probability play one tackle for the Newton team, which should strengthen it very materially...
