...scored in the Yale meet, and four points of the 13 1-2 scored in the intercollegiates. Yale will retain seven men who secured 20 1-2 points in the dual meet and 11 1-2 in the intercollegiates. As far as past performances are a criterion, it would seem that the 1911 University team should be well balanced, with the least strength in the broad jump and pole-vault. Captain Foster should have no difficulty in winning the dashes in the dual and intercollegiate meets. Cummins of this year's team, and Austin and de Gozzaldi of the Freshman...
...staff McLaughlin and Ernst, but the main dependence will be placed on new players. S. M. Felton, 3d, who was not eligible for the Freshman team this year, Bartholf and Hardy, the regular Freshman pitchers, and R. G. McKay '11, who was ineligible for the University team this year, seem to give promise of a very fair pitching staff. For the catcher's position the best men are Young, this year's catcher, who has not the strength to last a full season and be at his best, Reeves, substitute this year, Sullivan and Graves, the Freshman catchers...
...boat and on him the success of the crew mainly depends. He is an exceptionally good stroke-oar and drives the men behind him with life and dash. Recent changes in the bow four of the eight have handicapped the crew of late, but the present order seems to be final. Though the Yale freshman eight is a fairly powerful crew, it has been easily and badly defeated by the Yale university crew in all races at New London. Harvard's Freshman crew has not been tested as yet in a hard race with the University eight, but the chances...
...first half-mile the men rowed easily at 30 strokes to the minute. From that point the stroke was dropped to 29 until the boat reached the three-mile mark. The time over these first three miles was exactly 17 minutes. During this stretch the shell did not seem well on her keel at the catch and the slide-work was unsteady. At times Withington at 4 and Hooper at 5 did not bury their blades deep enough into the water, and Waid at 7 was slow in dropping his oar in at the catch. At the three-mile point...
...advantages that such a tutoring system would possess over the existing one must seem many and obvious. Although, no doubt, there are now some tutors who have a real knowledge of their subject and are conscientious in their work, still the majority are, at best, mediocre. On the other hand, a capable man who is doing the work of a course regularly and thoroughly, would be perfectly competent to impart instruction to his less fortunate or less energetic fellow-classmen. Such a plan would supplement the work of the Price Greenleaf Fund and the other "aids" which the Faculty employs...
