Battery A and the First Corps of Cadets played a scoreless football game in the Stadium yesterday morning. The ground, which was covered with snow at the beginning of the game, was so slippery that few long runs were made, and accurate tackling was impossible; yet, in spite of the condition of the field, the game was remarkably free from fumbles...
Battery A and the First Corps of Cadets will play their fifth annual football game in the Stadium tomorrow morning at 10.30 o'clock. Admission will be by complimentary tickets only, except for holders of H. A. A. tickets who will be admitted without extra charge. Of the four games it has played Battery A has won three and tied one. The line-up, which contains a number of Harvard men, is as follows: BATTERY A. CADETS. S. S. Rodgers '09, l.e. r.e., Talbot Andrews, l.t. r.t., Nichols T. H. Barber '11, l.g. r.g., Gutterson Hooper, c. c., Ware...
...they point out that though Harvard contains over seven hundred more students than Yale, the latter has an advantage of about one thousand in eligibles. Mr. P. J. Stearns discusses again Dr. Nichols's reports on injuries from football and draws the usual deduction in favor of the new game. Mr. Sammons argues for a Freshman Dormitory with a new library, gymnasium, and chemical laboratory, thrown in. Mr. Paul Mariett contributes some lines on "Crew-Practice." Mr. Mariett possesses a command of language which is unique for a young man; at present, however, he is in the imitative stage...
...current Advocate is fairly saturated with football, from the editorials and the leading article down to the inevitable "he and she" version of the great game. The leading article, by Mr. W. D. Sullivan '83 of the Boston Globe, has the great merit, rare in prophetic literature that it can be read after the event quite as well as before. It explains, simply and clearly, the situations which had to be met this fall by the coaches at New Haven and at Cambridge, and the methods followed in building up the two teams. Worth reading before the game, by reason...
...verse is very much better. The first stanza of Mr. Tinckom-Fernandez's "The Game" is as good as any undergraduate verse one is likely to see in a long time, and the entire poem, though it does not keep up to this high level, is notable in its sincerity and vigor. Mr. Pulsifer's "The Riderless Horse" presents a striking idea with effective brevity, the difficult verse-form is fairly well handled, and the phrasing is at times admirable. The same writer's "Third Down," however, suffers from its close resemblance to four lines of Browning's "Meeting...
