...Crimson backs proved the stronger trio. Captain Morgan and Doty not only played a fine defensive game, but they were also Harvard's most brilliant offensive factors. Together they carried the puck down the ice time after time, but Ford, the Princeton goal-keeper, was on the alert and their attacks were in vain. Percy and Curtis, the centres, played a strong game, for the University and although a good many of the former's shots went wild, his fast skating scored the winning goal in the first extra period. Percy seemed a little off his game at the start...
...Princeton employed a useful combination of line thrusts and runs off tackle, but there was little deception and the mixture was not always a happy one. The best exemplification of the fast running alert attack shown in the East was furnished by Harvard and Colgate. The latter team, however, suffered from the lack of a quarterback who had mastered the art of playing the concertina with the defence...
...very fortunate to pull out a victory. Virginia sends up a team which man for man will probably excel the University in a number of positions. Except for Stillwell, an end, who is slight and tall the men present a very symmetrical line-up; each man experienced, big, alert, fast and strong. This eleven last year won the championship of the sough and two weeks ago today, by using a carefully planned defense and by taking every advantage of its opponents' tactical mistakes, defeated Yale at New Haven by a 10 to 0 score. In attack, Virginia depends on Sparr...
...victim of what Tolstoy termed "the school state of mind",--a state in which every thing scholarly appears a-priori difficult, and the student regards himself not an eager seeker for truth, but a patient forced to receive a distasteful pellet of learning. Probably most men actually apply more alert thought to choosing their clothing and food than to their properly-intellectual tasks...
...Team A's alert defense against the forward pass resulted in two of the touchdowns. Bradlee and Mahan each intercepted the ball and got clear for a long run across the second's goal line. The other touchdowns came on straight line rushing from simple formations. Brickley's lone drop kick was made from the 25-yard line. The first team followed the ball persistently and twice recovered the ball within scoring distance when the second's backs fumbled punts. Bradlee carried the ball more than usually yesterday but the extra work seemed to make no difference in his brilliant...
