...comparison with the University football team of last year, the eleven this fall is in a very undeveloped state. Since the beginning of the season, an unusually difficult problem has been encountered--that of forming a well-balanced, united team out of material which, on account of differences in coaching, experience and physical characteristics, seemed very poorly fitted for the purpose. Five of the players on the 1901 championship eleven returned as candidates, but the material for the vacant positions was unpromising, under-weighted and of a decidedly unaggressive nature. A temporary team was formed, which has, with allowance...
...short gains that carried the ball, but only with the greatest difficulty, to Dartmouth's 26-yard line. Graydon plunged through left tackle for 14 yards, and after three or four advances on line plays, Knowlton went between left guard and tackle for a touchdown. Barnard narrowly missed a difficult goal. Score: Harvard, 10; Dartmouth...
...warn people of impending explosions is a much more difficult question. Dr. Jaggar read several extracts from St. Pierre papers, showing that the French scientists again and again concluded that Mt. Pelee was no longer dangerous, only to be terribly deceived. The intervals and character of the eruptions of Mt. Pelee give a basis for a calculation that the French disregarded. The first explosion was on May 3, and explosions of increasing violence came on May 8, May 20, June 6, July 9, and August 30--that is, at intervals of five, twelve, seventeen, thirty-three and fifty- two days...
...call to mind a poorer practice than that of the University football team yesterday would be a most difficult task. Not since the start of the season has a more spiritless or unsatisfactory exhibition occurred; and in view of the close proximity of an important contest, the showing was certainly disquieting. The whole team was remarkably slow, there was practically no interference, and but for the extreme weakness of the second eleven, whose frequent fumbles thwarted any attempts at effectual offensive work on their part, defeat would have been hard to avert. As it was, in a line-up which...
Candidates for the team to compete in the intercollegiate cross country race in New York on November 26 report to Mr. Graham at the Locker Building at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon. Inexperience need not prevent a man from trying, as the work will be elementary and not difficult for some time. The trial to select a team of five men will be held November...
