The form shown by the eleven in the second game of the season is distinctly encouraging. The men play, a much quicker and more aggressive game than Harvard teams usually do so early in the season. Improvement is needed in tackling; only a few menders of the team tackle surely and effectively. The work of the rush line can also be made more effective; in the main the play of the rushers is steady, but occasionally they allow the opposing line to make a bad hole, and when this does occur they are a little slow in settling down to effective work again. There were some pretty exhibitions of blocking in Saturday's game, but the men do not seem to have acquired the knack of habitually blocking. It is early in the season, of course, to expect this; but Yale teams have a way of blocking and tackling as though it were instinct with them to do so, and we should all like to see something of the same quality in the work of Harvard players.
The large attendance at the games and practice so far this season is very gratifying. Every man should consider it his duty to come out and encourage the team.
