...play foot-ball and not puss-in the-corner; your rushers must run with the ball and not let the half-backs do all the work; or, if they want the half-backs to score, they must block like men and not give way at every rush. Another evident point of weakness seems to be failure to drop on the ball in a scrimmage; Yale men as a rule rather like to do this than other-wise, and any team that wants to win must learn to do it, whether they like...
...Porter has once kicked a goal from the field.

The privilege could easily be got from the proprietors of the field, and much larger crowds would visit the boat house at the annual scratch races, and at the spring practice of the crews. We do not say that the scheme would...
