Although all the men on the Banjo Club except five played last year, yet the pieces are still lacking in dash and rhythm. The time, also, is usually too slow for the best effect. The faults are gradually being corrected, and the club is playing better at every concert. These men are now retained with the club...
...professor, explained in detail the Dean's philosophy and theological beliefs. Dr. Everett clearly realized that the spiritual life is one of constant self-surrender to the dictates of conscience and knowledge of the truth. He had little faith in sudden conversion, and believed true religion to be the slow, gradual growth in moral character that comes from babitual obedience to the highest ideals. His theology rested on the practical nature of religion; he believed that things are good in the measure that they are helpful, that things are evil in the measure that they harm. Dean Everett's great...
...comparative weakness of the back field suggested the experiment of trying Hale at full-back. This was done early in the season and has proved entirely successful. The development of the line has been steady and consistent, but the back field has been uncertain, and at times slow. The inability to develop reliable halfbacks has made necessary the practice of having line men carry the ball. The tackles, especially Bloomer, have been very successful in line plunging. This tackles back formation, devised especially to overcome Harvard's defense at tackle, which is widely different from the tactics...
...line, and Sharpe, Cook and Hale, all big enough for guards, were put in the back positions. The difficulty with this plan became evident in the Dartmouth game, when for the first time Yale lined up against a fast aggressive team. The backs were found to be too slow. From that time every effort has been devoted to making the team quicker. In the Indian game lighter backs were tried, and the good work of Fincke and Dupee made it a question whether light fast backs are not more effective than the heavy men used early in the season. This...
...line-up followed, but both regular men and substitutes ran through signals for twenty-five minutes. The self-control of the men was perfect; there was no fumbling or missing of signals. Lewis had the forwards in good shape, and they started quickly and hard. The backs were slow at first, but improved perceptibly under coaching. Ellis showed up very well, both in carrying the ball and in helping the other men. The interference on end and tackle running was fast and good...
