...most commendable and healthy spirit among the religious societies. Their work in the past as individuals has been admirable in its simplicity and quiet effectiveness, and this new movement toward a more complete unity of purpose ought to strengthen all the societies greatly. It will place them in a still more dignified position before the University, and remedy their principal, if not their only weakness in the past. No man could be better fitted than Dr. Hodges to address such a meeting in a spirit of broad minded tolerance...
...high time then that people realize what this whole business means. Harvard is playing football for sport supposedly. She does not hold an exhibition to support professional players, still less to provide pocket money for students at large. So if any man has more tickets at his disposal than he needs, the thing for him to do is to hand them over again to the management. There are plenty of men who want them, for their friends, and have a right to them, and it is an outrage that they should have to pay extra...
...also her strength in straight-away offensive football. During the week following the game with Brown the work was confined to strengthening the line and the whole defensive play. The result of this was encouragingly apparent in the Carlisle Indian game. Yale's defense was much stronger but still far from perfect. The week before the West Point contest was used in practicing a method for breaking up mass plays, but the work went for nothing when the team lined up against the Cadets. Saturday's game with the Chicago Athletic Association on the other hand demonstrated that the university...
...weakest positions on the line today, and can scarcely be compared with Cabot of Harvard or Cochran of Princeton. With Cadwalader at centre, Brown and Marshall the guards, and Rodgers and Chamberlin as tackles, the rest of the line should make a fair showing. Behind the line, quarterback is still in some doubt, but DeSaulles will probably play the position, McBride at fullback has made steady improvement throughout the season. His strong points are line bucking, interference and good (though at times unsteady) punting. The halfback positions are apparently as unsettled as they were a week ago. Benjamin, Corwin, Kiefer...
...Haven to see the Yale game. His place was filled by Cochrane who got the plays off with a commendable amount of speed. The only other vacancy in the team, caused by the absence of a 'Varsity man, was at left end where Captain Cabot's knee still prevents him from playing his old position. The 'Varsity proper lined up as follows: Graydon, l. e.; Swain, l. t.; Bouve, l. g.; Doucette, c.; Boal, r. g.; Donald, r. t.; Moulton. r. e.; Cochrane, q. b.; Dibblee, l. h. b.; Sawin, r. h. b.; Haughton...
