...prospects of the football team for next fall are decidedly bright from the point of view of available material. Although several of the best men who played against Yale in 1908, Burr, Cutler, Hoar, Kennard, Nourse, Ver Wiebe, White, and Withington, will be lost by graduation, the greater part of the "H" men will be in College next fall. Some good men will be eligible who could not play last season on account of academic standing, as well as strong material from the championship Freshman team. The positions for which new men will have to be found, are centre, quarterback...
Coach Quinn's methods with the field event men have been so uniformly successful that he may be depended on to turn out several point winners. Another season should see great improvement in Lawrence, and Barker, Mueller, Dennis, and Wheelwright are developing for the high jump. Barr will again be the mainstay in the pole-vault, with no other candidate showing anything like the same ability. For the broad jump, Long, Dillingham, and Winward are the most promising, as Little will probably confine himself to the shot-put. In this event he is an almost certain winner, and Goddard...
...down-stream to the Navy Yard, and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke. The University four followed the eight down-stream and back, and the second four took a light row up-stream towards the Yale quarters. The Freshman four rowed down-stream a little beyond Cows Point and back, and the eight covered the same distance. Later in the afternoon it was much cooler; the crews went out at about 6 o'clock. The water was almost calm. The University eight took a row down-stream to the three-mile flag and back. A stroke...
...maintained until the last half-mile of the course, when it was raised gradually to 40 at the finish. Taken as a whole the rowing of the crew was good and the time fast, as there was no wind throughout the row except in one stretch opposite Cows Point, and the tide was not as strong as that which favored the Yale crew last night. Throughout the course the crew rowed well together, the boat spaced out well at 32 strokes to the minute, and continued to space a few feet even when the crew was rowing...
...chances are great that this kind of canvassing with this kind of answering and tabulating entirely distorts the picture and works as a warning, just when encouragement would be in the highest interest of the University. If such a canvass became influential, we should rapidly come to a point where only the immediately "useful" courses would be well attended and all the other courses would be confined to the small number of undergraduates who specialize in the field. Some of us believe that just the opposite is desirable for college work
