...Brown freshmen Saturday by the score of 12 to 0. The play of both teams and especially that of Harvard, was marred by fumbling. The Brown backs could at no time gain consistently. Pierce and Frothingham for the Freshmen, and Tewksbury and Greenwood for Brown did the best work. The teams played very evenly in the first half, the ball remaining near the middle of the field. Neither team was able to advance the ball any distance, except at one time, when Frothingham and Pierce each made 10 yards on end runs...
Constantly aggressive, and for the greater part of the time in their opponents' territory, the University team should have scored again. Three times Harvard reached the Indians' 5-yard line only to be put back, twice for off-side work and once for holding. The University team was splendid on the defence, blocking Thorpe's place-kick and allowing but little gain through the line. When the Indian team had rushed the ball to the 2-yard line, they were unable to gain again and lost the ball on downs. Both teams used the forward pass frequently. Harvard was particularly...
...individual work, Fish and MacKay stood out in the line. Fish was always active and ran out the forward passes for good gains. MacKay broke through the Indian line on nearly every play, blocking kicks and breaking up interference. Crowley and Browne played well, Browne strengthening the backfield considerably on the defence. Cutler got his plays off smoothly and with good speed, but was slightly outpunted by Thorpe. The substitution of fresh men in the backfield at critical moments proved more than successful, Leslie, Smith and Ver Wiebe all doing well. White, Corbett and Leslie were the best ground gainers...
...backfield on the defence; and Corbett took his place in the line. Leslie was then put in, and Corbett went in for Long at end on the second team. In this position he showed up well, blocking one of Galatti's punts and breaking up several other plays. The work of the University team was full of life, and the backfield showed improvement in handling kicks. Dunlap was in at left guard and Withington went back to tackle. The second team played a good, hard game, Minot and Page doing particularly well...
Professor James resigned from active work in January, 1907, after having been a professor at Harvard since 1872. The best-known course which he conducted in the University was Philosophy D, on general problems in philosophy. Upon his resignation he was made "professor emeritus," and since then he has devoted much of his time to writing and lecturing. He is the author of "Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking," a work which has attracted wide attention both in this country and in Europe...
