...play regularly at right end and as a consequence all four forwards have not been able to form a smoothly working offence. Until the Princeton game the passes from centre to wing were rather poor, and even now the men are not at all sure of their shooting, a defect shown in the last two practices against the B. A. A. With Pierce seeming practically sure of the right end position, however, by Saturday a much more effective offensive combination should go against Princeton for the second game than did last week; and by February 3, when the team meets...
Altogether the game showed few encouraging features for the Harvard team. The interference was very poor with the single exception of Wendell, who seldom failed to put his man out of the play. Especially when the substitutes went in was this defect noticeable. Several times the secondary defence was badly drawn in, particularly when Holy Cross executed the forward pass which put the ball on the University team's 15-yard line. Again there was evident the fact that the right side of the line is by far the stronger of the two, although very few gains were made through...
...committee of graduates in 1901 placed Class Day on Monday, thus making no provision for the dance on the night before. For this and other reasons the plan did not appeal to the undergraduates, and so was rejected by the authorities. The present arrangement has no such defect. If the recommendations of the committee be adopted, some time will have to be saved in the academic year, and it is probable that in September, 1912, College will open three days earlier than at present...
...Dartmouth game in the Arena last evening. The loss of Captain Hornblower will do much to slow up the attack of the forwards but it is hoped that the moving of Huntington from coverpoint to Hornblower's position in the forward line will go far toward remedying this defect. Blackall was tried at point and Foster went out to Huntington's position at coverpoint. As Foster played this position last year, he ought not to have much difficulty in adapting himself; and Blackall has substituted at point both this year and last. In the short practice before the scrimmage yesterday...
...powers of the new Council: anyone who was in touch with the organization in the past knows that the defect of last year's Council was not its personnel--it was representative enough--but its careful observance of the limits of its authority; its punctilious avoidance of certain burning questions which concerned the whole body of undergraduates but which had not been expressly nominated in the bond which created the Council. The new Council of course will have any powers with which it is endowed by the President and Deans of the University on the one hand...
