Although it is but five weeks before the Harvard-Yale game, the Yale team has not yet got into good trim. The men in the rushline are a little heavier than those of last year's team. The backs are about the same in weight. The second eleven scores against the first daily, and frequently holds the 'varsity down to two touchdowns. Changes may be made but the team will probably be maee up as follows...
...Jarvis field dressed for practice. The candidates for the freshman eleven began work a little after three o'clock. The number of freshmen trying for their class eleven is unusually large, and the material seems to be rather better than it has been in recent years. The men are heavier than usual, and display an energetic spirit and willingness to work which promises well. About three-quarters of an hour was spent in passing the ball, kicking, and drilling in rush line work. There are a few men among the candidates who are of unusual ability, but the greater part...
...best record at this game in this country, states that Leavitt was done an injustice, and if the officials at a competition where he was taking part should decide that he would have to lend his pole, which was built expressly for his weight, to a man much heavier, who was liable to break it, that he would withdraw from the competition. He considered a man's pole fully as private as his pair of spike shoes. At the next meeting of the A. A. U. they will probably pass a resolution coinciding with Mr. Baxter's ideas...
...stroke, Caldwell, T. S; coxswain, Thompson, '90. They are all old 'varsity men with the exception of Rogers and Allen, but these latter have had considerable experience on their class crews. One trouble with the way the crew is seated is that the two bow men are ten pounds heavier than the two in the stern, which gives the shell a tendency to bury-Captain Woodruff says that a great deal of practice must be obtained in order to so perfect the Bob Cook stroke that it may defeat the Harvard stroke. There is danger that Hartwell, Allen, Rogers...
...unrigged; less than an eight oared paper shell. This is a considerable them of difference and should the boat prove stiff as a new paper shell, will be a great advantage, as, if desirable the average weight of a crew could be brought up six pounds and still the heavier crew would have no more to pull through the water than the lighter in a paper shell. The result of this improvement will be looked for with great interest by all who are interested in rowing matters...
