Nearly forty years have rolled by since Harvard and Yale first met on the gridiron. When this paper appears they will have played their thirty-third game. In all these years football has gone through its vicissitudes with faculties and rules committees, until today it has assumed a place in the whole country which is unapproached by any amateur sport. And at the same time in these particular games it has served the worthy purpose of bringing Harvard and Yale, players and supporters, into close, sometimes warlike but generally friendly, touch with one another...
...schedule of the University football team has proved much easier in practice than on paper. It at first looked as though the eleven was to face unusually strong opponents; but until the Princeton game, none was able to hold the University to anything approaching a close score. The result has been that the team appeared much more powerful than it really was until in Princeton it faced a truly worthy opponent. Against the Tigers, Harvard was forced to its utmost, and was even outplayed at certain periods...
...scoreless tie. Although these two teams had met the day before, the game on the 15th was the first of interest owing to the fact that it was played under the Canadian code of rules. The principal difference between the Harvard and Canadian rules was, to quote a daily paper of that date, that, "under the Harvard rules the ball must be kicked over a rope extending across the entire field while according to McGill's plan the ball must be kicked over a wooden bar 10 feet from the ground." For some time previous to the contest the team...
...backfield. Hitchcock is at his best at left guard, while Stover merely returns to a position in which he has repeatedly demonstrated his capabilities. Gilman should not feel at all strange at left tackle, where he will find ample opportunity to use all of his speed and aggressiveness. On paper, the eleven certainly looks stronger than hitherto; the line has lost 3 pounds in weight, now averaging 180, but to offset this slight decrease has gained somewhat in experience. The backfield is much stronger defensively, and should still maintain by far the greater part of its slashing at- tack...
...matter of fact, the shift which was made in the line-up of the football team yesterday afternoon was neither a revolutionary one nor one that was altogether surprising, except that it strengthened the team--on paper. The Princeton game showed clearly that Bradlee is needed as a defensive back, that Captain Storer does not play end as well as tackle, and the every effort must be made to stir up action in the line. The shift of Hardwick from back to end merely follows out a suggestion from last year's line-up, in which he played offensive...
