...stronger on the offense than on the defense. Their development has been slow. This was due in part to the few games played, in part to the lack of attention from the graduate coaches, who have spent most of their time working on the 'Varsity. The past week's hard and very satisfactory practice, however, will doubtless find Yale prepared to play a strong game. Yet it is certain that the team is considerably weakened by the loss of Wilhelmi, fullback, who broke his collar-bone in the Princeton freshman game last Saturday. Although it is certain that Yale will...
Ellis as usual hit the line hard and for many gains. When Harvard made her hardest attacks on Yale's line, Ellis gained the ground. In eight successive plays he carried the ball to the three yard line, but on the ninth, when weakened by his exertions, he could not make the requisite two yards. He was much more effective in backing up the centre than ever before. Early in the second half he was replaced by Reid, who punted well, and by his own determined spirit enabled the team to make that last brace that almost won the game...
...slight haze partially obscured the sun, and the wind blew lightly across the field from the south. The afternoon was excellent for football, but in spite of the gray overcoat and dark cloaks there was considerable color on the Harvard and Yale stands. The field was hard and freshly marked out. A great number of people came out by way of Western avenue and Allston. The band had special seats within the enclosure, at the southwest corner of the field, and played familiar and inspiring Harvard airs. When Governor Roosevelt entered the field, a great cheer went up from...
...second Newell got the best of the other two crews on the start, but the first Newell rapidly drew up to second place which it kept throughout the race. At the end of the first half mile the Weld crew lead by a length and a quarter, but by hard rowing, followed by a spurt at the bridge, the Newell crew reduced this lead to three-quarters of a length. The Weld gradually drew away again, but just before the finish the Newell spurted again until they were only half a length behind. G. Bancroft, stroke of the Weld crew...
...learned and sung at the practice. Copies were distributed to the men, but absolutely no effort was made to start singing. The men were ready and anxious, but the Glee Club for some unknown reason seemed indisposed to start things going by leading. The band has worked hard at all the important games, and it seems to many of us only fitting that the Glee Club should do its share of the work. The songs are good ones, but will be absolutely useless because no one has learned to sing them, and this might easily have been done yesterday...
