...line was through twice to block punts. In the same half, practically the whole Amherst eleven piled through on Haughton who was kicking close up to the line. Throughout the game, in fact, the line was palpably weak in the defence of punts; and besides broke through poorly in comparison with the light-weight Amherst eleven. Wheeler, especially, failed to open up holes for his backs; he was slow in getting into the plays and instead of being in a position to help the runner, was often in the way. Burden was largely responsible for letting the Amherst line through...
...game marks to a certain extent an epoch in the development of the eleven, for Dartmouth's team was strong enough to test pretty thoroughly the progress made thus far. The result, when we think it over carefully, is not, on the whole, calculated to cause over-confidence. In comparison with the records of the other big teams, in their games played this season, it is apparent that Harvard does not stand at the top of the list, and that if she expects to do so there is plenty of work on hand for all concerned...
...first baseball game between Harvard and Yale since '95 will be played on Holmes Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Both nines have been playing a strong game of late, yet a comparison of the Princeton scores seems slightly to favor Harvard. These are as follows: Princeton 6, Harvard 3; Princeton 4, Harvard 7; Princeton 2, Harvard 0; Princeton 9, Yale 10; Princeton 16; Yale 8; Princeton 22, Yale 8. The batting orders today follow...
...Track Team was not, as Mr. Lathrop says, overstrained at the time of the Harvard-Yale dual games, it becomes both an interesting and a difficult question to decide why the defeat was so decisive. It could not have been entirely because Yale had better men, as a comparison of previous records showed; nor was the slow track entirely to blame, because not only the runners but the high-jumpers, broad-jumpers and pole-vaulters were far below their usual form...
...made in the race, when the introduction of the new stroke and the untiring efforts of efficient coaches enabled the crew to show their superiority over all others, it would seem that they stood an excellent chance of winning, even from the best club crews in the country. A comparison of times also ranks the crew as one of the very first. Their most formidable rivals will be the crew of the N. Y. A. C., the Atlantas, and the Pennsylvania Barge Club's eight. The men will go to their quarters on the Schuylkill the last of July...
