...fill one entire section near the centre of the South Stand. The players, coachers and others in the preceding table are regarded as privileged, and special seats were reserved for them in the centre of the South Stand. Thus 8265 tickets were disposed of before the applications of the season ticket holders were considered. When we add the 7835 seats sold to them, we have 16,100 persons who desire seats between the goal lines. As there are in the neighborhood of 14,000 such seats on both sides of the field, it may readily be seen that hundreds...
...difficult to detect a single redeeming feature in the playing of the University eleven on Saturday. With only a week before the game for which the entire season is preparatory, there still remain several fundamentals of football to be learned by the players. After the first two minutes, the team did not pretend to play hard football. Of course the wet ball and the slippery field excused many faults, but the team has overcome these difficulties in other games. The game Saturday showed a reaction, perhaps a slump...

Beginning a season with so-called "minor games" does not answer the same purpose. the average knowledge of the game and the average strength and efficiency of players the country over have increased with such rapidity that any game, even the first, may be a hard one. The men are both safer physically and better students, as well as better football players for a preliminary period of training and practice. The minor faults may be summed up as follows: 1. Failure to provide for the individual...
...Four substitutes will be in the line-up, and, unless Dartmouth proves stronger than is expected, others will be put in during the second half. The Dartmouth eleven have not been as strong as usual this year, and have been beaten several times by minor colleges. Early in the season they held Yale down to twelve points, but since then they have not developed as well as was hoped...
