Hamilton Fish’s "Harvard Law School All Stars" played three games against different "All-Southern" elevens on December 30, 31, and January 2. The one on the 31st had been scheduled for a prior date but had been rained out. The first of these was a scoreless tie on muddy ground; the second a 5–0 Harvard victory, and the third another scoreless tie.
On December 7 it was announced Fish's team was to play two games against southern teams. On December 28, they would be playing “the pick of Vanderbilt and Suwanee elevens” at Memphis and on the 31st, “the best men from the University of Louisiana and one or two other colleges” at New Orleans. [1] A December 26 wire service article reported that Fielding Yost “may don the moleskin again.” [2] He was coaching a “western all-southern eleven” that was to play Harvard Law School in two days. Joining him from his Michigan squad were Germany Schulz and Andrew W. Smith. [3] The Harvard All Stars made a stop in Cincinnati on their way south. [4] By this time plans had changed and they were to play three games: first a game in Memphis on the 28th, then Michigan–Vanderbilt–Sewanee in Nashville on the 29th, and another in Baton Rouge on their southern tour. [4] The Memphis game on account of rain was then postponed to the 31st. [5]
A heavy rain also fell in Nashville on the night of the 28th, [6] and while the game had been expected to start at 2 o'clock on the 29th, it was apparently played on the 30th. [7] Yost coached the team and Vanderbilt coach Dan McGugin played in the game for his former coach. "In spite of a muddy field the game was fast from start to finish" [8] on Old Dudley Field in front of 3,000 spectators. [9] Former Sewanee end Silas Williams played for Harvard while taking graduate courses. [10] On a 110 yard field in those days, Fish had run for 100 yards when caught from behind by Browne 10 yards short of the goal. [8] A blow from Michigan's Smith also broke Fish's nose. [11] [12] McGugin "did much brilliant punting." [13] The game ended as a scoreless tie. [9]
The lineup for the Southern team was: Bill Stewart, Vanderbilt (left end), Vaughn Blake, Vanderbilt (left end), Dan Blake, Vanderbilt (left end); Lex Stone, Sewanee (left tackle); Dan McGugin, Vanderbilt (left guard), Andy Powell, Vanderbilt (left guard); Germany Schulz, Michigan (center); Andrew Smith, Michigan (right guard); Frank Faulkinberry, Sewanee (right tackle), Louis Hasslock, Vanderbilt (right tackle); Hager, Vanderbilt (right end), Cecil Covington, Vanderbilt (right end); Chigger Browne, Sewanee (quarterback); Douglas (A. H. Douglas?) (left halfback), John Edgerton, Vanderbilt (left halfback); Bill Neely, Vanderbilt (right halfback); Henry H. Williams, Vanderbilt (fullback). The referee was Bradley Walker. [3] [8]
Originally the first game scheduled in Memphis finally happened on the 31st. It included many Ole Miss players. [12] Earl Kinnebrew was a standout for the southern team. "The Southerners showed unexpected strength in individual defensive work. Kinnebrew, the giant tackle, who made an all Southern eleven this season and who intends to enter Harvard Law School after finishing his course at the University of Mississippi, played against Captain Fish and held his own, according to the verdict of an enthusiastic crowd who flocked to the side lines in spite of inclement weather." [14] Harvard won 5 to 0, the only points a 25-yard pass from Stephen Galatti to Silas Williams. [12]
Then on January 2 Fish's team played a group of LSU players in Baton Rouge. [12] [15] "The game was without question the finest exhibition of football ever given in the state." [15] Harvard was hurt by the injuries and length of the trip, resting in New Orleans before the game. [16] The game ended 0 to 0. Doc Fenton was at quarterback.
