...themselves overpowered in consequence. But the principle which gives graduates the preference over undergraduates in the right to seats seems tome both unfair and impolitic, and I for one should be glad to see it changed hereafter. The game is primarily an undergraduates' affair. We rely upon them to make up the team, and the team and its managers rely mainly upon them for the enthusiasm which helps to success. It would be easy to imagine what would become of college football if their interest in it should be discouraged. The undergraduate has a personal interest in the game which...
...resume work again today in secret practice. The substitutes played the second eleven yesterday and had considerable difficulty in advancing the ball. As the men had never before played together, team play was lacking and the whole offense was generally ragged. On the defense, however, the second eleven could make no gains, owing to the vigorous tackling of the substitute forwards. The second eleven has dropped the guardsback style of play, and is now developing a new offense. The team played well together and held the substitutes for downs on their own ten yard line...

Now that the order of the crew has been finally decided upon, there ought to be a change for the better. The race on the sixteenth promises to be very close between the two first crews, and the second eights are also very evenly matched. Most of the Freshmen who rowed in last year's interscholastic series are now at the Weld, but there is an abundance of good material at the other club, so that the Freshman...
Pennsylvania's old guards back formation was useless. It is a play which requires a strong team to back it, and even then it has been proved ineffective against a team of equal strength. The few gains the Pennsylvania players were able to make were on clever trick plays and on a variation of Princeton's old revolving wedge. At one time only did they get the ball within Harvard's 25-yard line, when Wallace ran 30 yards, but then they could make no impression on Harvard's line. In the first half Barnard tried a goal from...
