...call to mind a poorer practice than that of the University football team yesterday would be a most difficult task. Not since the start of the season has a more spiritless or unsatisfactory exhibition occurred; and in view of the close proximity of an important contest, the showing was certainly disquieting. The whole team was remarkably slow, there was practically no interference, and but for the extreme weakness of the second eleven, whose frequent fumbles thwarted any attempts at effectual offensive work on their part, defeat would have been hard to avert. As it was, in a line-up which...
...race was by far the closest and most exciting that has taken place on the river for several years, although all the crews rowed rather badly. The course was smooth, in spite of a slight head wind. The first Weld took a hard spurt at the start, and got a little ahead of the other crews. At the quarter-mile the first Newell drew ahead of the first Weld, and the second Newell fell about half a length astern of the other crews. By this time the first Newell had settled down to a long stroke, not above thirty, while...
There are two objects immediately in view in this year's administration of the Infirmary, one of which is the discovery of the best way of making it pay its expenses. The other and more important object, however, is to start the Infirmary on its actual service to sick members of the University, and to gain from the year's experience a practical idea of its working needs, on which, after all, the financial plan must ultimately be based. It is important, therefore, that the registration under the four-dollar plan should be up to the minimum number...
...University eleven had another hard contest Saturday in the game with Brown, and before over 15,000 spectators barely managed to win by the score of 6 to 0. Harvard assumed rushing tactics from the start, and about the middle of the first half, after Kernan, by a 40 yard run had carried the ball to the 5 yard line, made the one touchdown of the game. During the remainder of the play the nearest approach to a score was when Harvard had the ball within 16 yards of Brown's goal and was then held and forced...
Throughout the game, Harvard made gains which amounted in all to nearly 300 yards, but through fumbling or penalties was never able to make full use of the opportunities afforded to score. At the very start, the ball was carried, principally by means of Kernan's 40 yard run around right end, to Brown's 33 yard line, but Graydon was unable to gain on a centre play. Hurley was thrown for a loss of 4 yards and, in order that the ball might be kept, it was taken back 16 yards to the middle of the field. There Kernan...
