...every man must report at once for regular work. He then outlined the work of the year. The first important event is the relay race with Yale at the B. A. A. meet on February 6, and if we are to win it, the relay men must work their hardest in the month of practice that they will have between now and then. All track event men are to report to Coach Donovan in the Gymnasium today at 11, 12, 2.30, and 3.30 o'clock; field event men to Coach Quinn in the baseball cage before 3 o'clock...
...been one of the features of the practice scrimmages this fall. Corbett and Leslie will probably be the halfbacks. Both are speedy, run well through a broken field, and are consistent ground-gainers. There is also some promising material from the 1912 team in Pierce, Frothingham and Winston. The hardest task that confronts the coaches will be the development of a quarterback. The same problem, however, came up this fall, and Coaches Haughton and Daly developed from green material a quarterback whose work was of superior quality. Sprague, Crocker and Davis are likely candidates for the position, and from...
...hardest proposition before the coaches this year has been the selection of men for the backfield. Of the backs, Corbett, Kennard, Smith and Ver Wiebe never played behind the line before, and Cutler, at quarterback, is new to his position. The present set, Corbett, White and Ver Wiebe, or Kennard in case Burr does not play, is strong and fast. White and Ver Wiebe play hard, aggressive games and are both good line plungers. Corbett and Leslie, who alternate at left halfback, have proved the best ground gainers, and their running through a broken field is particularly good. Kennard...
...ragged and rather discouraging. Eighteen points were rolled up against Holy Cross on October 10, in a game that showed much promise. The offense was still slow in starting, but on the defense, both the line and the backs showed marked improvement. The Army proved to be the hardest proposition Yale had met. Playing with several men crippled slowed up the Yale attack, which was unable to gain consistently against the opposing line. In the second half, fierce line-plunging by the backfield won the game for Yale. The defensive work was excellent throughout the game, but, on the offense...
...hardest fought games ever played on Soldiers Field, Harvard defeated Dartmouth Saturday afternoon by the score of 6 to 0. During the first half the play was very even, and although Harvard was outplaying its opponents in the second half, it was not until the last few minutes of the game that Harvard's touchdown was made. It came as the result of a series of rushes and forward passes from Harvard's own 24-yard line, the best exhibition of football Harvard has shown this year. Three beautiful forward passes and consistent gains by Leslie, Ver Wiebe and Smith...
