...buttresses which supported the triporium gallery of the especially large nave, the lecturer pointed out the architectural beauty of the west portal figures, their "sechereese" and lightness. The sculpturing, he said, is the best of its kind and was possible only at this time. He showed how much better the work on Chartres was than that of Aries, where the figures are heavy and uninteresting. He then displayed pictures of figures at the top of the columns of the portals showing their Gothic difference, and their individuality...
...comparison of scores, the Yale players appear to have the better chance for victory as they have been defeated only once this year--by Andover by a score of 23 to 0. The Harvard team, in addition to losing to Andover by a score of 51 to 0, has failed to score in two other games, one of which was a tie. These defeats of the Harvard eleven occurred, however, early in the season, and since that time a marked improvement has been shown both in individual work and in team play. The improvement in team work has perhaps, been...
LeMoyne's kicking was better yesterday, his first punt for 65 yards being immediately after the University had received the first kick-off. Mahoney fumbled the punt and the University eleven got the ball on the second's 20-yard line and carried it in four rushes to the 2-yard line. There it was lost on a fumble. As the second could not gain, Cruger punted to the second's 32-yard line. Four plays by the University eleven, including one through the line by Schoellkopf for 14 yards, carried the ball over. Knowlton scoring. Marshall kicked the goal...
...Cooper does not care to risk the chance of injury before the game with the Yale freshmen tomorrow. Signal practice yesterday was encouraging, the backs having developed a speed and accuracy that was entirely lacking earlier in the season. The line too was quick and followed the plays much better than usual...
White, right half, is a good defensive player, but not particularly strong on the offense. Foster, right half, keeps his feet better than White, but is very slow in getting started unless under steady urging. Reynolds, fullback, is a good punter and a strong defensive back. He does not lift his feet sufficiently in bucking the line, but often covers good distance by hurdling. Leatherbee, captain and right half, is a strong all round player and unusually fast. He has been kept out of the game a great part of this year by injuries, but will probably be in shape...
