...fifth concert by the Boston Symphony Orchestra was given in Sanders Theatre last night. The strength of the programme lay mainly in the instrumental numbers, especially the Beethoven "Erioca" Symphony. The Berlioz Scherzo also, with its striking orchestral effects, was most excellently rendered. Miss Henschel, the soloist, seems to have quite too light a voice to sing with full orchestral accompaniment in so large a hall. Her first number suffered on this account. Her Scotch and Irish songs, with simpler accompaniment, were more successful...
...losers rendered almost as satisfying as a victory. Even after Yale had scored two touchdowns in the first half, such was the power already made evident by the Harvard team that a successful outcome was still expected with a large degree of confidence. To those who knew the real strength of the Harvard eleven it was a great surprise that Yale was able to fight its way down the field for four touchdowns, and the fact that the feat was accomplished shows that Yale had one of the finest teams that ever represented that university...
...long series of rushes with scarcely any variation from the accepted style of attack--the tackle-back formation -- which has come into use in all the important games of recent years. A few end runs were tried by both sides, but always with unsatisfactory effect. Yale had wonderful offensive strength and after once receiving the ball usually managed to make successive gains for some distance. The opportunities to score, however, were not confined to one team, as Harvard twice had the ball within 25 yards of the goal and was once held for downs on the 7 yard line. Again...
...considerable length, they were due almost entirely to individual excellence. On the other hand, the efforts of the man who carried the ball for Yale were but secondary in the attainment of the end. Every play in which Yale attempted to advance the ball brought out the combined strength of every man on the team and it was by their concentrated energies that they achieved that consistency in their gains that made the difference between victory and defeat. Harvard's defense was practically a one-man defense; not because the men were in-different to helping in other positions than...
...promising outlook for a winning eleven. The eight members of last year's team who returned furnished a powerful nucleus. Uncommonly heavy men were available, and the great development brought about in them by the continued efforts of the coaches has resulted in a team which combines speed and strength to a degree equalled by few former Yale elevens. As the team was selected comparatively early in the season, the men have been given excellent practice in playing together. This team-play has been the main feature of the eleven throughout the season and the cause of the large scores...
