...Stadium this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Last year Bowdoin was defeated by a score of 5 to 0 and held its own fairly well against the greater weight of the University team. Just what the strength of the Harvard team will be in today's game is hard to predict. There have only been a few scrimmages so far but they have shown that the men have lots of life and are showing the effects of a thorough systematic preliminary training. Several of the men are playing new positions this year and their work is very crude. Bowdoin...
...practice yesterday consisted of a stiff 25-minute scrimmage between the first and second elevens. The first made two touchdowns by good hard football. The only forward pass tried by the first eleven gained 20 yards and was well executed by Browne and Crowley. Burr started the scrimmage, kicking off to Sprague, back of the goal line. Browne kicked to Burrage, Page trying the line for no gain and losing the ball on a fumble. McKay punted to the second's 35-yard line. The first team regained the ball and by small gains reached the second's one yard...
...promising sprinters is small. Blumer, who won a place in the 220-yard dash in both the Yale and intercollegiate meets this year, and R.C. Foster of the Freshman team are better in the longer dash than in the 100-yards. It will take a great deal of hard work to develop enough sprinters to bring the team up to the average in these events. The outlook in the quarter and half-mile runs is brighter. Merrihew and deSelding are closely matched in the former, while Jaques of the Freshman team and Whitcher should again give the University the advantage...
...suggest, no sympathy is due the men. They heedlessly took their risk of punishment; 'yes, more, as the event has proved, though they could hardly have anticipated such a result, they recklessly imperilled the cause of which they were the chosen guardians. They deserve punishment and the harshest censure from the public opinion of the College. But why such punishment, one that bears hardest, not on the culprits, but on the crew, and especially on its devoted captain and the hard-working coach, and on the University as a whole? Why not show some sense of proportion, some justice...
...seven days of rowing before the race and in that time the men in the bow will have a change to accustom themselves to the new order and should get together fairly well. The difference in weight and power which the new man brings to the bow will be hard to balance, but it is not an impossibility. Captain Richardson has done remarkable things with the crew already and we have the utmost confidence that the crew will be many seconds faster on the day of the race than any one dares hope for now under the existing conditions...
