Yesterday's parade of students to Soldiers Field and cheering the team was an undoubted success, but it seems to me there was one decided omission. The CRIMSON of yesterday contained copies of several songs written to be sung at this game, and most of us thought those songs were to be learned and sung at the practice. Copies were distributed to the men, but absolutely no effort was made to start singing. The men were ready and anxious, but the Glee Club for some unknown reason seemed indisposed to start things going by leading. The band has worked hard...
...practice game against the second eleven yesterday afternoon, the first eleven scored four touchdowns and one goal from the field in twenty-three minutes play. There were few fumbles by the first eleven, but many by the second. The tackling in general was poor and the men had no success in following the ball. Great effort was made to perfect team play which resulted in good pushing in the line plays. As Hallowell was slightly injured and Campbell did not go into the line-up, the work of the ends was weak. The kicking by Sawin, however, was good, especially...
...prevalent view that the team this year has not been in condition to play football is correct, and, for the present, it is useless to look further for an explanation of its lack of success. A system of play intended for a team of eleven men cannot be tested unless there are eleven men able to play it. The team has not had the same make-up in any two games of the season. The men were in better physical condition in the Harvard game than at any previous time this season, but owing to long absences from practice, caused...
...From a wealth of raw material a fairly active and very willing team has been developed by the energy and persistence of Mr. Rodgers and Captain McBride. The early progress was slow and tedious. Then followed a period of decided encouragement culminating in the victory over Wisconsin. Whether this success had a deteriorating effect or not, the team did not advance during the next week and upon meeting Columbia suffered a defeat that seemed for the moment paralyzing to its progress. Then the University itself came to the front and showed the team that there was confidence in their ability...
...tome both unfair and impolitic, and I for one should be glad to see it changed hereafter. The game is primarily an undergraduates' affair. We rely upon them to make up the team, and the team and its managers rely mainly upon them for the enthusiasm which helps to success. It would be easy to imagine what would become of college football if their interest in it should be discouraged. The undergraduate has a personal interest in the game which it is impossible that he should continue to keep to the same extent in later life. The players...
