Harvard gladly added Princeton to the number of her opponents, confidently went to meet her old rival, and now returns disappointed from the contest. In the study of causes which led to the defeat of Saturday, we find one which was wholly unforseen. It was but a week ago that Harvard was congratulated on having played eleven men through an entire game, with increased snap and dash in the second half. Conclusions of the most gratifying nature with regard to the physical condition of the team were freely drawn at the time. Now, apparently these must be reluctantly abandoned. During...
Phil King said of the game: "I think we outplayed Harvard on the whole, although she certainly had hard luck in the first half. Harvard played a sports-manlike game, and I don't recall ever having seen a cleaner contest...
...this afternoon will be the most important that the Harvard team will play this year. It will, in a measure, take the place of the Yale game and the enthusiasm which has before marked the game at Springfield must this year be vented in the Princeton game. Today's contest, the first since 1889, will be, as we sincerely hope, the beginning of a long series of games with an old and as her repeated victories show a formidable rival. Of the six games played between 1883 and 1889, Princeton won five. Since the League was ended, however, a settled...
...Yale football coachers are planning some radical changes in the eleven at once. Yale's principal games, the contest next Saturday with West Point, and with Princeton Nov. 23, are close at hand, and the Yale team work is very poor. Hazen will probably supersede Bass permanently at end. Murphy, who has been overworked, will be given a rest, and Brown or Chamberlain will relieve him. Sheldon is liable to succeed Longacre at guard, and Letton and Thorne will probably resume their old places behind the line. J. A. Hartwell has joined the coachers at the field, and will supervise...
...three events in the 'varsity games which were postponed Monday afternoon were run off yesterday. In the 220 yards dash the handicapping was too heavy for the scratch men, and Dorman with 17 yards won easily. For second place, however, the contest was more exciting. The pole vault proved to be a very interesting affair and again the handicap proved too much for the scratch man. Out of justice to Kershaw L. S., however, it should be said that if it had not been so dark he would undoubtedly have won first place as his previous records have been...
