...plan there was again a scrimmage yesterday afternoon and the defense made a strong showing. The second team was given the ball three times on the 15-yard line and every time was met by a solid resistance against which it was impossible to gain. The offense was also stronger, the men starting fast and together. The interference was more effective and the team play was noticeably better than at any time since the week before the Pennsylvania game. In the 13-minute scrimmage the first eleven made two touchdowns by hard rushing and consistent gains. Later the substitutes also...
...slow on punts, but Leary played a very steady game, and Knowlton, although showing lack of experience, was strong on the offense. The offensive work of the Dartmouth backs, notably Rich and Herr, was evidence of the advantage which team play gives against a heavier eleven, or one with stronger individual men. R. Glaze was Dartmouth's most brilliant player and besides being a remarkably fast end, he was used effectively in carrying the ball. DeAngelis, left end, also was fast in getting down the field. Gage's work on the kickoffs was phenomenal...
...aggressive defense and were literally worn out. The effect was seen in the second half, when Harvard was so weakened as to be on the defense practically all the time, and was always forced to punt after two or three rushes. The centre of Pennsylvania's line was much stronger than Harvard's and Stevenson varied the players to such an extent that his team was kept in better condition. Every man on the eleven, with the exception of Captain Torrey and the ends, was in turn given the ball and the line men were almost always good for short...
...game he was taken out and replaced by Nichols. Lockwood proved fast on the offense and once outran Stevenson and threw him on an end run. He received a hard blow on the elbow in the second half and Guild, who took his place, proved stronger on the defense. Starr ran the plays off fast, and as usual was a great help to the runner, but his judgment was in two or three cases rather questionable. His work in the backfield was very good, especially as the opposing ends were waiting to down him after nearly every punt...
Next year the University track team will probably be much stronger than it was in the past season. In addition to the nine members of the team who won points in the dual meet with Yale a large number of capable men will be available. The point-winners who will return to College are Captain E. J. Dives '06, L. P. Dodge '08, H. H. Whitman '06, H. M. Turner '06, W. G. Howard '07, M. H. Stone '07, O. F. Rogers, Jr., '08, W. B. Jordan '06, and F. J. W. Ford 2L. The team will be greatly weakened...
