...sagacious administration. Hundreds of graduate students recall with pleasure the genial address of welcome which he gave at the beginning of each academic year; and many knew, long after they left the University, that he was still their friend. For Professor' Wright had, in a measure rarely granted even to lovable men, the power of awakening affection. No one who met him in the mere casual relations of life could fail to be impressed with his sincerity; while to those who were privileged to know him intimately he endeared himself in countless ways. Of the affectionate regard in which...
Nothing could have been more satisfying than Saturday's game. Harvard men all over the country have been awaiting this victory for a good while and now it is theirs to enjoy. It was a clean-cut, hard-earned victory, one in which an evenly balanced Harvard team of great power and resourcefulness outwitted and outgeneralled a Yale team which was well up to the average, but which met a team even cleverer and more determined than themselves when they tried to pull another game out of the fire in the second half. It was a source of the keenest...
Starting at the beginning of the season with what seemed to be even poorer material than usual, Coach Haughton has developed a team, which, although it has progressed somewhat slowly, is now as good, if not the best team that Harvard has had in several years. In the early part of its schedule against the Maine teams the first eleven had little trouble in winning, and in fact had no really hard opponents until the Navy game, when it was outplayed completely. This was the first real test, and showed up some very apparent faults--weakness in defensive work...
...picking out and developing a quarterback, Coach Haughton had an even more difficult task. The material was very limited, and in a short time was sifted down to three men, Browne, Cutler and Galatti. But Browne was too valuable a man at end, and after a short time went back to the line. Cutler is an example of what can be accomplished by careful coaching and consistent work. He has improved with every game, become a safer man in the backfield, and has been depended upon for the greater part of the punting since Burr was injured. Last Saturday...
...more unique situation has ever existed on the morning of a Yale game. One cannot even be sure that the two captains will play and if they do, it will probably be only for a short period. In many respects it is a novel year. No Yale team ever started a season with a brighter outlook. The material was splendid, mostly veteran players. The 1908 team, however, has suffered more through injuries, first and last, than almost any team on record. On the other hand, no Harvard team in our memory has started the season with a squad...
