...some years past it has been customary for the team to take a Southern trip during the vacation, playing Stevens Institute of Hoboken, Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn, Swarthmore College, and Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore. It has been found advisable to discontinue the trip this year, as it comes at a time when the team must necessarily have had very little practice together, and is of little or no benefit to the men. Instead of the Southern trip, the squad will probably remain in Cambridge during the vacation and special attention will be given to each man and also...
...practice yesterday was somewhat better; there was a little more snap to the plays, due, perhaps to the colder weather, and the line held more strongly than has been customary. Still there was hardly any brilliant playing to distinguish it from the general run of practices during the past few weeks. Knowles made a run of 55 yards from a kick-off and added several shorter gains around the end, but the benefit of these advances was lost by frequent fumbling, especially when touchdowns were imminent. Only one touchdown was scored, and that by the first eleven on straight rushes...
...past week has shown no material development in the Yale team. The weak points which were brought vividly to light by the Brown game of a week ago Saturday are still much in evidence. The chief fault to be criticised is the one that has existed throughout the season, slowness both in the line and back of it. The forwards are strong and heavy but play in a lifeless way and the strenuous efforts of the coaches during the week to correct this fault have met with only partial success. The backs start slowly, depending almost entirely on the ability...
Neal, the leading candidate for left end, is still troubled with an injured knee, and has not played since the Wesleyan game. Of the other candidates for end, G. Ward and Moorhead have shown some improvement during the past week. At left tackle Shevlia has been given the preference over Hamlin. the former is promising but has still a great deal to learn. Rockwell has been given a trial at quarterback, and while imparting considerable speed and life to the team is very erratic in his handling of the ball. VanderPoel. last year's substitute fullback, is doing well...
...Harvard eleven, will probably not be in the line-up at the beginning of the game, but may go in later. The Harvard eleven will be weakened by the absence of Graydon and Knowlton. Otherwise the team is in good condition and, after the improvement of the past few days, should play a strong game...
