...Saturday, might prove very disastrous, as it is expected that the game at Cambridge will be very close, besides being the most interesting game of the day. Secret practice will be continued this week so as to keep the men in practice, and also that they may be in good physical condition for Saturday's game. The result of the game with Cornell was rather in the nature of a surprise, as no one expected that the team would roll up such a score. It was expected that we would defeat Cornell, but by a much smaller score. The reason...
...getting down on kicks very fast. The loss of last year's guards has been much felt, and the success of the attempt to fill the places is problematic. Armstrong '99, who played halfback last year, has been moved up to right guard, and as he is doing fairly good work he seems sure of the place. He is very active, and his experience at half is valuable in running with the ball. Crowdis, last year's substitute centre will play left guard. Although he is slow and poor at breaking through, he has improved greatly in his tackling during...
...weight to 195 pounds, always plays a strong, aggressive game, and is one of the surest ground-gainers on the team. Left tackle is being well taken care of by Hillebrand 1900, who is closely pushed by Booth 1900. Both men were guards last year on Andover, and play good, hard football, blocking and breaking through well...
Capt. Cochran, right end, is hardly up to his work yet, owing to a bad knee which has kept him out of part of several games. Thompson '97, an old end, has been doing good work, but is now temporarily laid off on account of injuries. Left end will probably be entrusted to Brokaw '97, who is playing an excellent game, and at pressent is the best of the ends, owing to his speed in getting down the field, and his sure tackling...
Behind the line there is a wealth of good material. Of last year's team, Rosengarten, Bannard, Kelly, Suter, Baird and N. Poe are back. At quarter, Smith is doing the best work; his passing is accurate; when running with the ball he is the hardest man on the team to down, and in defensive play his work at end makes him invaluable. Suter has failed to keep up his last year's work, and has been put on the scrub. At halfback, Bannard and Kelly have generally been played toge her, and Rosengarten and Reiter. Between the two pairs...
