...University football team won from the Bowdoin eleven on Soldiers Field yesterday in an exciting but poorly played game, by a score of 17 to 6. A more interesting game has rarely been seen here, but the many faults of the Harvard team were enough to take away any pleasure which might have been derived from watching the play. Not only did Bowdoin score, but at the end of the first half had a lead of 6 points to 5; and the hardest kind of work was required of the Harvard team to avoid defeat. Fumbling was the cause...
...Boston and A. Cobb of Newton. For two nights the party camped on the esplanade or platform in Colorado canon about 1500 feet below the plateau and 3500 feet above the river. The members spent most of their time in studying the great dislocation known as the Horricane Fault, and a number of very important facts were determined in regard to it. The most notable of these concerned the two movements by which the 3000 or more feet of dislocations were produced along this great fault line. It was thoroughly demonstrated that after a vertical movement of the rock...
...game showed clearly a number of important faults in the Harvard team. On line plays, the backs, instead of finding the holes made for them, almost invariably ran into their own interference and, where otherwise long gains might have resulted, were satisfied with advances of a yard or two. On end plays this same fault was sometimes noticeable, but more frequently the tendency was not to follow the interference closely enough during the first part of the play; the slow forming of the interference may have invited the backs to branch out in this way for themselves, but even granting...
...finishing well below the Union Boat Club, in ten minutes and thirteen seconds. The crew spaced better and travelled faster during the last mile than they did during the first and at the finish they ran the stroke up to 35 to the minute without any difficulty. Their chief fault is an occasional tendency to shorten at five and six which effects all the bow oars. Yesterday the boat showed marked improvement in this respect. The change at seven has not, as might be expected, in the least upset the boat. Hartwell is accustomed to rowing behind Wolcott, and seven...
...changed this difficulty should soon be overcome. The first eight is considerably heavier than is usual with Freshman crews, and individually the men seem to get a strong drive; but they fail to work together, and no marked effects are yet apparent. The men have partially overcome their greatest fault of rushing, but the slides are not yet as well under control as they should be. At present, the crews are having their chief difficulty in training the blades close to the water at full reach and getting a quick turn-over...
