...students to engage in intercollegiate athletics--sport of the sort was dropped at Princeton when we entered the war--has excited both adverse criticism and applause. As the writer understands it, Princeton has no idea of a restoration of the former spectacular displays as staged at the Yale Bowl, at Cambridge, and at Princeton, but, on the contrary, a sane and economical indulgence in games against teams of other colleges. There are now some seven hundred upper classmen in Princeton who, under conditions that have obtained for nearly a year, have been debarred from anything but intramural sport. The freshmen...
Today is the climax of our football season: The Harvard and Yale Freshman teams meet in the Stadium. They and not the usual University teams are to represent the Crimson and the Blue. We will miss the old stars: Black, Casey and those others who battled in the Bowl last year all are in the Service and the freshmen are the only ones left to represent their colleges on the gridiron. There will be no H formed in the Stadium, no new songs will be sung; it will be a war time game. We, that is, all but the freshmen...
...game with Exeter in the Bowl, the Yale freshman R. O. T. C. team, as they are officially designated, surprised their followers by defeating the Academy eleven 20 to 0. The freshmen displayed a good defence, with an erratic offence. As a unit the team exhibited much power. . The line, although weak in several positions, held their opponents' attack, while the backfield proved to be a fast and aggressive aggregation. Fumbling, however, marred the team's play. Lay and French in the backfield and Welsh and Acosta in the centre of the line were the mainstays of the Blue eleven...
Thus the Yale soldiers are to support us with artillery as we deploy and manoeuver through the Bowl. From goal post to goal post we will dash while the artillerymen sit peacefully on their steeds and caissons chuckling inwardly. It is indeed a subtle witticism from the Yale point of view. Except to amuse them there can be no reason for this joust. Crowds there will be none for who will travel to New Haven to see a puny two thousand would-be soldiers, when they can go to Yaphank or Ayer and watch tens of thousands drill...
...chairman of the board of athletic control at that University, who was appointed to arrange a football schedule for the Yale Freshman eleven, has announced the dates of three games in a statement given out recently at New Haven. The first contest will be against Exeter in the Yale Bowl next Saturday, October 20; this will be the first time any Yale athletic team has played an outside opponent since the beginning of the war. The other two games are scheduled with the Harvard Freshmen at Soldiers Field on November 17 and with Princeton 1921 at New Haven on November...
