...celebration to commemorate the crew and baseball victories of last June which was postponed from Friday on account of rain will be held tonight. It should be the aim of every man who possibly can, to join the procession which will be formed at 7.30 p. m. in front of University Hall. Headed by the band, the crews and the nine, the crowd will march around the Yard to the homes of President Eliot and Professor Hollis, who will respond; and then to Soldiers Field, where a huge bonfire has been prepared. As the committee in charge of the celebration...
...Harvard line by far the best playing was by Boal. He blocked two kicks, handled his man with ease, and was the mainstay of the forwards. He is one of the few regular men who is in splendid physical condition. Burden played only one half and gave place to Barnard. Hallowell's playing and punting were of the first order until he was forced to retire from the game. The remainder of the line, however, played without particular merit. Lawrence was as aggressive as usual, but often totally ineffective. In addition to his old habit of getting off side...
...back-field played a sharp and fast game. Fincke ran the team with discretion, tackled hard and was a useful man in the interference. Kendall; individually, was strong, but was of little service as an interferer. As Gierasch has strained a ligament in his leg, Parker played throughout the game. In spite of his light weight, he again proved his strength as a halfback. Ellis took Kendall's place in the second half, and, by carefully following his interference, made several long runs. He also made consistent gains on line plunges...
...football coaches at Yale have recently been striving to strengthen the rush-line. Brown at left guard seems to be the most reliable man, and Thomas at left end approaches him in form. Cunha, centre on last year's freshman team, is practically sure of that position on the 'varsity this fall, for McConnell has already proved too light for the big college games. H. Brown is looked upon to fill right guard in spite of his light weight and inexperience. Leary, who was tackle last year, is being tried in the position, but is also too light and will...
...recent practice. Sharpe, who has been Yale's best ground-gainer so far this season, and who will do all the drop-kicking, is playing left halfback. For the other halfback position, there are several prominent candidates. As Sharpe and McBride both weigh over 180 pounds, a lighter man for end-circling has been sought and found in Kiefer. Against the smaller colleges he has shown fine ability to score. Adams, of last year's freshman team, and Shattuck, substitute on the '98 'varsity, are two other light men whose work has been very satisfactory. Fincke is first choice...
