There is just enough local color in two of the five contributions to the November Illustrated Magazine to save the whole number from a failure. The illustrations--the principal reason for the existence of the magazine--are, excepting the frontispiece, diminutive, indistinct and ordinary. The review of the football season is choppy and not always in good English; while "The Spirit of Football" is pointless from first line to last. Though timely in choice of topic, the editorials are inadequate in treatment and betray an attempt at force by the too common artifice of writing...
...improvement which has taken place in the work of the eleven during the past few days was especially evident in the practice yesterday. There was some unusually fast playing, and at the end of the two halves against the second team, seven touchdowns had been scored. The men gave reason to believe that they can respond fully in a crisis and put more fierceness into their work than they have exhibited at any time before. Even though the final game will be played so soon, the power shown by the team yesterday was enough to encourage the belief that...
...years, have not served to simplify, but rather to complicate the situation at the ends. These two men and Coffin and Wilhelmi appear to be evenly matched in ability. All are heavy and only fairly fast. Shevlin and Wilhelmi are handicapped by inexperience in the position. There is little reason to doubt that the ends will be played by two of these men but to pick which two is at present practically impossible. The tackles have been the subject of constant coaching, especially in defense. Both Kinney and Hogan are developing strength in the tackles-back formations. Metcalf has played...
...public schools before the Teachers' Association at Providence, R. I., last night. These three lectures, although delivered at different places, form a connected whole. The first was given at New Haven when President Eliot urged larger expenditure on schools, and argued that the failure of schools to develop reason among pupils is responsible for many of the evils of the day, such as the popularity of ephemeral, literature, the flourishing condition of the lower class of theatres and the labor disputes. The second was given at Concord, N. H., before the New Hampshire State Teachers' Association. In this address President...
...from the injury it received on Monday. Wesleyan will be represented by almost exactly the same team that was defeated by Yale a week ago by a score of 35 to 0. Double passes and trick plays are the team's principal reliance on the offense, and for this reason, the game will probably be a good test of the ability of Harvard's ends. The Wesleyan eleven averages but 165 pounds...
