...offer a few suggestions along these lines? Why can't we give our opponents a regular cheer as they come on the field? Two weeks ago we did not give any cheer for Holy Cross before game time, and Saturday we were slow in sending across a "regular Harvard" for Indiana. We are the home crowd and as such I believe we ought to welcome our opponents with a whole-hearted cheer, no matter whether they come on the field before or after our varsity...
...football. Whether Coach Steihm has been able at this stage in the season to organize his wealth of material into a smooth-running machine which can stand up on even terms with the Crimson combination is a matter of conjecture. Coach Steihm's elevens have always been given to slow starts. For instance, last season the Hoosier eleven blew its chances of a tie for the Western Conference leadership by losing the first game against Iowa on account of one fumble at a critical point. After that disaster Indiana defeated three of the leading Conference teams in succession. Coach Steihm...
...weakest parts of the team have been a tendency for the outfield to err in recovering hits and playing ground balls, and an inconsistency in batting. Murphy is taking good care of the receiving end of the battery, although his throwing arm is weak and his base-running slow.

He is, perhaps, the steadiest man on the team and often makes seemingly impossible stops and pickups. Emmons, Conlon, and Lincoln are a fast and heavy-hitting infield...
...sensational no-hit, no-run, no-reach victory, 11-0. Among his other victims are Fordham. Wesleyan, Bowdoin, and Brown. If the need presents itself, Colucci will step in for mound duty. On the offensive, Loud and White are dangerous base runners, and Kirshstein, though rather clumsy and slow, is a heavy hitter. Weafer is the most dependable batsman...
...Albany joined it in 1873; and the college proper has become famous all ever the country for its engineering courses. Making use of the shops and laboratories of Schenectady, it promises to become one of the best technical centres in the world. Rochester University, after fifty years of slow progress, has begun to leap forward amazingly. Since 1918 George Eastman has given it $4,500,000 to build and endow what should be one of the first schools of music anywhere. Last year the university obtained $4,000,000 from Mr. Eastman, $5,000,000 from the General Education Board...
