...annual pre-season track meeting for everyone interested in University or Freshman track athletics will be held in the Trophy Room of the Union Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. All members of the University who intend to take part in any department of track athletics should attend this first meeting, when the fall program will be outlined. N. W. Bingham '95, W. A. Barron, Jr., '14, captain of the 1914 team, and Alfred Shrubb, coach of the cross-country teams will be the speakers...
...Yale squad has had perhaps the most thorough pre-season work of all of the larger teams. Starting on September 6, a week before the University candidates were called aut, the exceptionally large squad has been drilled steadily and hard for three weeks. The line suffers heavily by the loss of ex-Captain Talbot at tackle and Stillman and Carter at end. With the championship 1918 team to draw from, however, these positions should not be hard to fill. Captain Wilson, shifted from quarter to halfback on account of increased weight, will be the mainstay behind the line. Guernsey...
...Pre-season football practice at Yale brought to light an abundance of exceptionally good material. Coach Hinkey had veteran backfield men and promising players from the previous year's freshman team from which to develop the attacking element of his offensive machine. The line seemed to demand the greater attention inasmuch as it had been seriously weakened by the loss through graduation of several of its veterans, but numerous substitutes and men from 1917 who were eligible for the first time gave every appearance of being able to keep the standard of the forward defence up to that which...
...Brown team is essentially an inexperienced eleven, but six of the twenty men who have been playing with more or less regularity in the games this season ever having had any university experience. Pre-season indications of a weak line proved to be correct; the line was distinctly inferior to the backfield and caused the coaches a good deal of anxiety. Trivial injuries, added to the already rather ordinary line material, prevented the proper development of the same set of men and necessitated constant rearranging of the line-up. The offensive department of the eleven is strong; the backfield being...
There has been no season in recent years when the pre-season practice has promised better results; although there were only seven "Y" men left, there was such a wealth of material from last year's college team-men who would have in all probability made the university except for injuries, that the gap was almost filled. In the early practice there were none of the faults of fumbling and mixing signals which have since been so noticeable...
