...starting signal, Randolph and Claverly got away first and led for about 50 yards. They were unable to hold this lead, however, for Thayer, with a short, fast stroke, quickly caught and passed them. Randolph and Russell, who were nearest the Cambridge shore then fell a little behind, rowing a slow, clean stroke. Claverly and Mt. Auburn street were following, nearly even, about a length of open water behind Thayer. Just above the Harvard bridge, Russell and Randolph put up the stroke, and gained rapidly on Thayer, but the latter was able to sprint although it had been rowing...
Ithaca, N. Y., November 2, 1909.--In a fast scrimmage with the scrubs this afternoon, the Cornell team scored but once, on a quarterback run by Baker. Although the wet field hindered the work somewhat, the men played with good team-work and followed their interference very well. As the coaches were perfecting several new plays, the practice was secret. The team lined up as follows: Kulcher, l.e.; Stude, l.t.; Donnan, l.g.; Seagrave, c.; O'Connor, r.g.; Weeks, r.t.; Crosby, r.e.; Baker, q.b.; Tydeman, l.h.b.; Krutsch, r.h.b.; Simson...
...show signs of spirit, and, before the end of the scrimmage, had regained much of the dash and fight which it showed in the Exeter game last week. Lewis was moved from the backfield to end and did very well in his new position. He was down the field fast under kicks and usually got his man. When the second team had the ball he was used on the secondary defence. Goodale was back in his regular position at left guard and strengthened the left wing perceptibly. Cutler took Jones's place at centre, the latter going to the second...
...team, even with the absence of Captain Fish, who went with Coach Daly to Cadet Byrne's funeral, showed considerable life, the players following the ball and starting very fast. The signal drill was quite long, as a number of the substitutes were sent in to replace the regulars, who were not given much work. Hooper played in McKay's place, while Fisher was shifted from guard to right tackle, Perkins taking his place at right guard. Long, Corbett, and Dunlap, who have been on the injured list, were all in practice, each showing that his condition was fast improving...
...tackles in the open field and receiving two short forward passes, while both he and Houston were down the field under almost every kick. Minot punted nine times, and the Army backs did not run these back for ten yards altogether. Minot played excellently, hitting the line hard and fast, but his punting was even more phenomenal. His nine punts averaged 37 yards and all but one were made against a brisk wind. Leslie, when substituted for Frothingham, was absolutely steady, so that he could always be counted on for a substantial gain, while, in addition, he made a sensational...
