...Freshman eleven defeated the Worcester Academy team at Worcester on Saturday, by the score of 11 to 0. The Freshmen had a slight advantage in weight, and their back-field played together better than that of Worcester. Fumbling was their worst fault. Worcester played a stubborn, defensive game, allowing but one touchdown in each half. Their high tackling, however, allowed the Freshman backs to gain many times after they should have been stopped...
Merriman, who during the first half gave Donald some hard playing, replaced Eaton on the 'Varsity toward the end of the practice. Notwithstanding his weight, he plays a quick, active game. Donald strengthened the other side of the line very much. Lewis, right tackle on the second, made some brilliant plays...
...fast game. Fincke ran the team with discretion, tackled hard and was a useful man in the interference. Kendall; individually, was strong, but was of little service as an interferer. As Gierasch has strained a ligament in his leg, Parker played throughout the game. In spite of his light weight, he again proved his strength as a halfback. Ellis took Kendall's place in the second half, and, by carefully following his interference, made several long runs. He also made consistent gains on line plunges...
...approaches him in form. Cunha, centre on last year's freshman team, is practically sure of that position on the 'varsity this fall, for McConnell has already proved too light for the big college games. H. Brown is looked upon to fill right guard in spite of his light weight and inexperience. Leary, who was tackle last year, is being tried in the position, but is also too light and will probably return to his old place. Stillman, who will undoubtedly fill the other tackle, played in both the Harvard and Princeton games last year...
...second eleven, the back-field, considering its light weight, played a fast game. The punting of R. Lawrence, the rushing of Hurley, and the tackling of E. Motley, encouraged the team to meet the attacks of the first eleven. A. R. Sargent strengthened the line to a great extent by stopping several centre plays...
