There is much good material in College this year from which A. Winsor '02, who has been reappointed coach of the hockey team, can pick the University seven. The defensive material is especially strong. O. M. Chadwick '11, goal, F. D. Huntington '12, point, and N. H. Foster '11, coverpoint, are again available. These men should develop a defence as strong as that of two years ago. Moreover, R. M. Blackall '12 and P. K. Houston '12, coverpoints, and H. B. Gardner '13 and S. B. Smart '12, goals, have all had experience either on the second or Freshman teams...
...Wendell, who probably will start at the right halfback. Wendell's chief value lies in his skin-tackle plunges which penetrate the line low down and have much power behind them. Although by no means fast, he is an extremely difficult man to stop owing to his ability to pick holes and keep his feet. T. Frothingham, Jr., played only a few minutes in the West Point game and has been sick for the past few days. He is fast and does best in a broken field. Graustein is effective in the same way, with the exception that...
...substitutes. This fact was evident when the University team attempted to advance the ball, their opponents being much more successful at gaining through the tackle and guard positions. Philbin and Pfeiffer, especially, did excellent work in the backfield, Philbin's speed around end and Pfeiffer's ability to pick holes on tackle plays giving the University line its severest test of the season. The Law School line was easily the heaviest yet encountered, and provided the first opportunity to estimate the real strength of the Harvard line. As in previous games, it proved practically impregnable while intact; but, toward...
...Cornell race. Only members of the first and second class crews will be eligible for this race. The men of the Newell and Weld boats will receive their club letters. From these boats one or two four-oars will be formed to race the University fours in order to pick the four and substitutes to go to New London...
...annual trial race to pick the University and second crews will be held at 3.30 o'clock today. It will probably be rowed over a four-mile course from the Stillman Infirmary to the New bridge, though there is a possibility that the race may be changed to a two-mile course from Longwood to the new Bridge. The second crew will be given a few lengths start over the University eight and the third boat will have about the same handicap over the second. The Freshman crew will row the last mile of the course...
