...interest, enthusiasm in the fall season is apt to be much less than it should be, unless everyone takes it upon himself to see to it that he keeps steadily at work. W. M. Rand '09, captain of the 1909 track team pointed out the need and value of headwork and brainwork in connection with all forms of track competition. It is this that wins many an event and meet.

Short as it was, yesterday's practice was highly encouraging. The team seemed to have recovered almost entirely from the listlessness displayed in the Dartmouth game, and showed a great amount of snap and vigor. The forwards kept together well, exhibiting both speed and headwork in rushing and following back. All the players were quick to cover their men, and avoided the corners. On the whole, the team seems in top condition for tomorrow's game, and can be depended upon to put up a stiff game against Princeton...

Altogether he has shown more headwork than any other 1911 end. At the other extremity White of Princeton cannot be disregarded on account of an extraordinary ability in following the ball, a fact which alone makes Princeton the 1911 football champion. White's offensive work is far ahead of his play on the defence, and were...
