...Lady of Shallot wove; soft purple in the west changing to shimmering white in the east. Under me on the left the Vosges, like rounded sand dunes cushioned up with velvety light and dark mosses (really forests). But to the south, standing firmly above the purple cloth like icebergs shone the Alps. My! they looked steep and jagged. The sharp blue shadows on their western slopes emphasized the effect. One mighty group standing aloof to the West--Mont Blanc, perhaps. Ah, there are quantities of worm-eaten fields--my friends, the trenches,--and that town with the canal going through...
...picking the second team, the CRIMSON has taken these things into consideration; that Cowen far outplayed the much-heralded Black in last Saturday's game, that Captain Glick of Princeton would have made a better halfback than a field general, and that Walden of Yale far out-shone his team-mates in the Blue line in the Harvard game. It lines up as follows...
...Where Yale shone, wherein she has hope to make trouble for Harvard, is in her punting and drop-kicking, her down field ability and sharp tackling of her team; the close, unerring following of the ball and the splendid spirit of the players individually and as a whole. Her wing defense and defense off tackle must improve between now and next Saturday, probably will. Her forward-passing game is not dangerous, and she launches a driving attack from her Minnesota shift formation better qualified for midfield gains than for gains inside her opponent's thirty-five-yard line. Perhaps...
...drawing to a close, a figure shot out from the mob and down on the CRIMSON goal. It was Buel of the Lampoon. A mighty shout rose from the men of yellow streaks. But they reckoned without Hollister. In the first half as rover for the Lampoon, he had shone, nay scintillated. He had distinguished himself as the only man to be put off the ice for questionable playing throughout the game. Now, as goal for the CRIMSON, he proved his versatility. Under press of the occasion he warily approached the foe. The foe fell--not for the first time...
...distinctly the individual star, although Daly, Field and Kistler played brilliant games. Kilpatrick, who combines speed and weight, was always the first man down under punts, and his tackling was very hard and sure. He was always alert, followed the ball closely, and was in every play. Field shone in defensive work, and smothered practically every play that broke through the primary defence. The offensive playing of Kistler was accurate and several times he got through the line, running directly behind Field, his interference. Captain Daly showed speed on end runs and was keen to size up the opposing plays...
