...considering the objections against successful football we can see nothing which is inconsistent with our ideals of sport. True, we do not wish to inaugurate recruiting stations in the preparatory schools, although there is no harm in urging upon our friends the advantages of this institution. We believe that Harvard can turn out winning teams with the material which naturally comes to us, provided that football coaching is so systematized that we can make the best of our resources. At present our object is to beat Yale in football, and as long as undergraduates are united upon that point, there...
Cornell has won the championship for the last five years, and is expected to do so again this year. The University team finished fifth last year, but although the present team is fairly strong, it has been beaten by Yale, which in turn lost to Princeton, so that its chances seem rather doubtful. However, the team has been improving steadily, and should do better than last year...
...present football situation in Harvard University, emphasized by the stinging defeat of last Saturday, if bound to cause much adverse criticism from both graduates and undergraduates. The responsibility for the defeat must be mainly with those in control of football, although at least a part must be borne by Harvard men themselves. This lesser responsibility is due to the general spirit of resignation which was shown, immediately after the Yale game, to have pervaded the University. Being resigned to defeat, coupled with the sentiment so generally expressed: "Well, they played ever so much better than was expected and did mighty...
Dissatisfaction, however evident, will be of no avail unless its effect appears in the plans for another season. As a rule the captain appoints the coach, and, although he may attempt to follow a certain policy, his choice will necessarily have in view the success of his own team or his personal inclinations. We should do well to secure one of the best graduate players of each season to coach the next team, but the choice of both head coach and field coach should not lie entirely with the captain. A suggestion which we print in another column...
...Brides's run in the first half, the longest run of the day. Throughout the game his hard running was a feature. Newhall's work was exceptionally good. In spite of the bandage over his eye, he caught and ran back punts almost perfectly, and his generalship was excellent. Although not Harvard's regular punter, he was called on to do most of the kicking on account of Burr's being slightly overtrained and slow in getting his punts off. Newhall's punts were not as long as Coy's, but the shorter distance enabled the ends to cover them...
