...determination to win. Harvard has never beaten Yale in two successive years and Harvard has seldom beaten Yale at New Haven, so the team which plays today has before it the prospect of a most significant victory. This object has been the key note of a season of hard, steady work, and today the test of the work will be made. A slow development has been sought after by the coaches and the result is that the team will begin the game at the highest possible point of physical and mental strength. The spirit of fight and determination which characterizes...
...material for the vacant positions was unpromising, under-weighted and of a decidedly unaggressive nature. A temporary team was formed, which has, with allowance for the usual number of changes, come through the season in not greatly altered form. In many of the preliminary games the team had hard struggles to avoid defeat, and it was only through the inability of the opposing elevens to keep up the strain imposed upon them by the superior weight of the Harvard team that such disastrous results were not encountered in more than one instance. Last Saturday, a lack of team-play...

He is exceedingly slow, but his better defensive ability, although coupled with an almost entire lack of aggressiveness, has made him more valuable than...
Captain Chadwick has remained at left halfback, a position which he has filled for the last three years with marked ability. He is fast and aggressive, a hard tackler and a reliable runner both on end runs and line plunges.

Bowman is a punter of extraordinary ability, combining in his kicks both distance and accuracy. Rockwell at quarterback is a good...
...Seniors defeated the Sophomores yesterday, by the score of 18 to 0, thus winning the interclass championship for the fourth consecutive time. The game, which was hard fought throughout, was won by the Seniors' superior attack and team-work. Their formation and dive plays were run with great effectiveness and advanced the ball steadily by gains of from five to ten yards. Pier ran his team with good judgment and the plays with remarkable steadiness from beginning...
