...contest was marked by erratic fielding. In all, seven errors were made, but this was offset by several really brilliant plays. Davidson, the Brown third-baseman, played his position with consistent cleverness, while Bothfeld and Abbot supplied the features. The former closed Brown's end of the fourth inning by making a pretty running catch of Ormsby's rap to left field and then by doubling Murray at second, who was well on his way toward scoring. Abbot similarly closed out Brown in the eighth with a running stop of Ormsby's hard smash through Garritt. Harte was the star...
...last Saturday's contest Captain Burgess of Yale opened up an old wound in his knee. This injury will probably prevent him from playing tonight. Yale has also suffered the loss of Jacob, Armour, and Buchanan. This loss is partly offset by Princeton's loss of Ford, one of the best goal tenders in intercollegiate hockey, who is at present out of the game on account of his studies...
After the seconds had stood up against the University, they opposed Team B for 20 minutes more. The play in this session was more even, for Rollins' spectacular end-run of 45 yards for a touchdown was offset by Murray's pretty dropkick from the 30-yard line. Aside from the score, the margin of superiority was small, for the seconds, their line-up constantly freshened by substitutions, put up a strong game. They should give a good account of themselves in their contest with the Brown scrubs tomorrow...
coupled with the poor offense work of the University players was the chief factor in the University's defeat. The poor offensive, however, was partially offset by the effective work of the University's defense men, who managed to keep the score down within reasonable limits...
Figuring on probable line-ups, the two teams seem to be about equal in strength. Cool, the Cornell centre, who is, the lightest man in the visiting line, will have his greater experience to offset Taylor's weight; in Anderson and Miller, Dadmun and Cowen will meet two veteran guards who each tip the scales to over 200 pounds, while the new Ithacan tackles may be at a slight disadvantage in opposing veterans Gilman and Parson. Shelton, a skillful end of two years' standing, and Eckley, a former substitute, are the Cornell men who will probably play against Harte...
