...Hard luck for poor...
...versatile ground-gaining set of backs. Veeder, at left halfback, although inclined to be slow in starting, is strong on the defense, keeps his feet well and follows his interference. He is also a very reliable punter. Morse and Roome are both fast half-backs. Morse is a hard line plunger, and Roome is especially useful in helping along the runner. Levine and Flinn are powerful fullbacks, but the latter's defensive game is rather weak. Hutchinson and Jones both use good generalship and get the plays off fast. Jones is best on running back punts and in dodging through...
...Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon by a score of 209 to 184 birds out of a possible 250. The Harvard team was severely crippled by the loss of E. P. McMurtry '09, who was unable to compete at the last moment. The poor score of the University team, however, is hard to explain since conditions for accurate shooting were good. The best individual score was made by Borden of Yale, who killed 47 out of 50 birds...
...impossible to gain. The offense was also stronger, the men starting fast and together. The interference was more effective and the team play was noticeably better than at any time since the week before the Pennsylvania game. In the 13-minute scrimmage the first eleven made two touchdowns by hard rushing and consistent gains. Later the substitutes also lined up against the second eleven and besides scoring once held well on defensive work similar to that given the first eleven. The preliminary practice consisted only of drill in taking starts for the linemen and punting for the ends and backs...
...whole the Senior team is not experienced. None of the men played on the 1906 Freshman team and only three were on the team which was defeated by 1905 last fall. Hard work under the supervision of G. F. Metcalf '06 and W. G. Means '06, however, has developed a strong offense, although the defense is still weak. The team is slightly heavier than the Freshmen, and should have little difficulty in winning, but owing to the Seniors' weak defense it is probable that the Freshmen will score...
