BREAKING THROUGH THE CENTER
merit, but none distinctly fitted. Mackie,
who was center-ruSh on his freshman
team last year, lacks weight for such po-
sltiOn, since his 1S5 pounds must be pitted
against about 200 pounds in the Yale
game. He is an aggressive man, how
ever, and may qualify for the place. Vail
is about 135 pounds and rowed No. g in
the crew last year. He lacks activity and
plays only moderately good football in q
stationary, defensive way.
Besides these men, Highlands, Pierce,
Rantoui, Berry, FitZhue and Saltonstal are
all men with good qualities, but the three
center places in the rush-line are distinctly
not filled up to the present time. On the
left end Rantoul, who Is an "old' man,
very strong and able, promises to do more
service than he will nearer the center, but
if Dan Shea can be brought into condition
and can be taught to tackle low, he will
probably qualify for the position. He
plays with great vigOr, but he is too tall
for his weight, and finds difficulty in put
ting his strength to the best uses. He
weighs about 10, and is muscular man
from long training in different branches
of athletics. Grant and Eddy are
freshmen, the former having played
center on his Exeter team last year; but
both have much to learn, and though
doubtful if they can become members of
the university team this year. Waters
may not be able to play, but he could I'LL
the place at tackle or end and has the
qualities in him that make good player.
He is heavy, quick and has learned TO get
through the line quickly, which is almost
unique on the present Harvard team. He
will in time make an admirable man, and
it is TO be hoped that he can be used on
the team this year. For the end rush on
the left Emmons, Bond, Collamore, Miller
and Curtis are the most prominent men.
Emmons has come down from the Groton
school this year and is PLAYING active foot
ball. but he does not know the game and
has had no experience in hard university
football.
Gage. Burgess and Cobb are trying for
quarterback. The fault of all is that
they do not use their heads in di-
recting the game. 1t is probable
that Gage will eventually I'LL the place,
but he, too, has much to learn, as
have three-quarters of the men mentioned.
Back of the line Lake probably has few
equals on the football field today. Trafford
at the apex of the team is playing better
this year, running more with the bail and
using his head far better than before this
season. Corbett, if he can bring himself
into favor with the college authorizes by
passing satisfactory examinations in GER
tain studies, viii no doubt MI his old posi-
ton. If these three men play they will
make strong set of backs. Other candi-
dates are Fearing, who, owing to his re-
cent illness, will probably not be allowed
to play long by the coaches; Gray, a new
man, who is a vigorous, pushing player,
promising well for another year, if not for
this, and Sherwin, who, if he were wise.
would wait until next year to gain strength
and weight and recover from his injured
knee. There is the possibility in Sherwin
NH 1.
that any of US have ever seen on football
field.
The eleven, as a whole. has a great lack
OF team play. 1t wants impetus and
vigor; that feeling which Mr.. Adams put
into the eleven OF last year, that they must
make one inch OF ground if they could not
do better; and that one inch was a great
gam. since it would only be a question of
time when they should win if they could
keep that up"
Other sports at Cambridge are for the
moment overshadowed by the football
work. The men are not idle, however
Mr. Perkins, captain of the last wears
crew, will undoubtedly give a great deal
OF attention to assisting Mr.. kelton in
getting his crew out. The scratch" races
of the fall are over, and within a month
candidates for the crew will I've working in
the gymnasium and in the "tauk-hoat"
The crew starts at the beginning of the
