...felicity of detail. Mr. Powel's "up to the minute" story is a wild burlesque, of considerable merit, with a preface which might well be reduced to a title, and a postscript which in spite of its kindly spirit might well be omitted. Mr. Schenck's "Missing Mistletoe" is slow in getting under way, and sudden ever afterwards. Much of the dialogue lacks ease, but, the sudden part is diverting. Mr. Warren's "Lost Christmas" is a story of sorrow, told creditably yet lacking power. Mr. Whitman's "Chamburlesque" I cannot estimate fairly without reading the work it parodles...
...exceptionally good. In spite of the bandage over his eye, he caught and ran back punts almost perfectly, and his generalship was excellent. Although not Harvard's regular punter, he was called on to do most of the kicking on account of Burr's being slightly overtrained and slow in getting his punts off. Newhall's punts were not as long as Coy's, but the shorter distance enabled the ends to cover them effectively. Macdonald's playing exceeded all expectations. In previous games he had been slow in sizing up the plays of opposing teams, and his tackling...
...first half of the game last Saturday. During the latter part of this game, however, the team showed its real strength. The line was able to withstand the hardest kind of attack without weakening, and the offense proved to be exceptionally aggressive. The backs are still a trifle slow in starting but are very fast on end runs and good at line plays. The ends are able to stop plays well but are easily blocked in getting down under punts. The fact that Yale's opponents have been able to cross her goal line but once this season, and then...
...play the ever-ready, quick game that the Indians did. Their playing was too crude to win, and, compared to the Indians, the team as a whole was woefully undeveloped. The speed of the Indian backs and the manner with which they handled the forward pass made Harvard seem slow and crude in comparison. Carlisle had the science of interference down to perfection and their blocking off of Bird and Macdonald time and again was one cause of their frequent long runs around the ends...
...first game of the season, yesterday afternoon, the Junior eleven was defeated by Milton Academy by the score of 6 to 0. The Junior eleven showed good team play, considering the short time it has been practicing, but it could not gain through Milton's line, and was too slow to make long end runs possible. Evarts made the only substantial gain for the Juniors, running a punt back 45 yards. The Milton team, although largely composed of second-team men, played a hard game, but was not able to gain consistently on account of fumbling. It made its best...
