...next two weeks, the Princeton football team is still an uncertain quantity. Not for many years past has such a wealth of first class material been available for the eleven and the early-season prospects were unusually bright; but the team has not as yet struck its stride and the showing in the games to date has not been as good as the ability of the men would seem to warrant...
Fast brilliant play marked the final struggle between H. G. M. Kelleher '18 and G. W. Wightman 3L. for the championship of the University in singles. Kelleher started off strong, smothering Wightman's returns, and driving the ball hard and placing beautifully. Wightman got into his stride towards the end of the first set but Kelleher had already secured a comfortable lead, and won 6 to 4. However, Wightman continued to improve and succeeded in capturing the second set 6 to 3. The third set brought out beautiful shots and equally clever returns, both contestants showing marked versatility and playing...
...labor, and they have been great, expended on the details of this ticket system, and to be patient with the minor defects to which it or any new scheme is liable on first trial. To Mr. Moore, as its originator and leader, belongs most of the credit. This stride toward greater economy and efficiency in the management of athletics shows that he is eager to relieve them of the old criticism of extravagance. We wish him success in his endeavors toward this end, that, as a result, Harvard's athletic equipment may be bettered and opened still more...
...regular players are back, Captain E.L. Barron '13, H.G. Francke '14, O. Needham '13, B.B. Locke '13, G.M. Rushmore '13, and C.H. Weston '14. Last fall, however, the team had a chance to develop team work, although it was not until late in the season that it struck its stride, owing to the new men who were added to the squad from time to time. The weak point of the men last fall was their shooting, but there will be plenty of time to develop that before the intercollegiate season begins, in the latter part of this month. Last spring...
...University team has apparently not yet struck its stride and in the daily practices since the recess has shown little improvement. The forwards are not playing with the snap and dash which characterized their work before Christmas when the team repeatedly defeated the B. A. A. in practice scrimmages. The principal weakness seems to lie in the crude team-play. The men carry the puck down the ice well individually but lose it at the critical moment near the goal on slow and poor passing. The second team defence, however, has been playing an exceptionally strong game of late...
