...means as seasoned as the quartets of previous years. The kind of football Harvard will play today is therefore expected to be of the open type instead of the close, conservative game which proved so successful for the heavier players of last year. The aim will be to develop speed in the backfield of this year's team and ability in open field work...
...Freshman baseball team this year, captained by E. L. Casey '19, has not been up to the standard of former first-year nines, mainly because of a scarcity of as excellent material available for Coach Ball to develop this season. The principal weakness has been in the batting department, only the outfield trio being consistently good fielders and hitters. The 1919 team was shut out by the Yale freshmen, 4 to 0, at New Haven on May 30, and only three out of the other eight games on the schedule were won by Harvard, opponents having piled up 52 runs...
...which gets men out and makes them interested in working for their college. It is foolish to say that Harvard has no track material. Out of the 1100 odd men who are eligible for teams there must certainly be a fair percentage of men who are capable of being developed into point-winners, at least in the dual meets. Experience has proved again and again that practice alone, without any previous ability, can develop men who are capable of winning points against Cornell and Yale...
...hardly better off; they lose first-place men in four of the field-events. We were beaten this year because we were pitifully weak in the weights and jumps. Now we start again on an even footing with Yale and there is absolutely no reason why we should not develop men just as fast as they do, unless it be the fact that Harvard men are simply too lazy to come out and win their...
Whether or not the University will make a creditable showing in track next year depends entirely upon the interest of those men who are physically able and who, by a little sacrifice on their part, could easily develop into point-winners in the field events. There is no disgrace in being defeated when you have done your best-but the knowledge that had it not been for a few "slackers" the showing of the track team this season might have been much different, is a disgrace, and one that every member of the University should make an effort to wipe...
