The practice yesterday was longer and harder than usual. The first and second elevens were very nearly matched in strength, and the second eleven held the first on downs several times.

Before the two teams lined up a new method of interference was practiced by the 'varsity. The various positions of the men were carefully explained and each man was assigned to block off his special player.

In the game, the new method worked very successfully when the formation was maintained, and when the men get accustomed to working together it will doubtless make a very strong interference.

Ex-Captain Waters joined the squad yesterday for the first time. He did not do any actual playing, but coached the second eleven vigorously. He has begun exercising and will play in the line in a day or two.

Emmons put on his suit again yesterday but did not play in the line. He still is slightly lame and will not endanger his ankle as yet. Manahan and Arthur Brewer were also on the field in their suits. The injury to Brewer's face is not so severe as was thought last Saturday.

The sixth serious accident to Harvard's players came yesterday when Richardson, who has been a strong candidate for end, broke his collar bone. Weld, who has been playing fullback for the second eleven, was also carried off the field with a wrenched knee.

The 'varsity succeeded in making three touchdowns during the twenty minutes the game lasted. The playing was very uncertain. At times the 'varsity would gain fifteen or twenty yards by a compact interference, and again their backs would be downed with loss. This was due to the fact that each player does not yet understand his part in the work of blocking off. This fault can be done away with only by practice.

The elevens were made up as follows:

FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN.

Richardson (Moulton), l.e. r.e., Newell.

Hallowell (Teele), l.t. r.t., Wheeler.

Murchie, l.g. r.g., Hoague.

F. Shaw, c. c., Doucette.

J. N. Shaw, r.g. l.g., Hennen.

Gould, r.t. l.t., Teele (Holmes).
