...much has depended upon Captain Howe. The team has never done anything worth while, except when he has been behind the line. This, of course, means that the substitute quarterback material is weak. Howe, though not physically a strong man, had been until the Princeton game, regarded as a superior general, a clever punter, and a valuable man in running back punts. Last Saturday his generalship was severely criticised and he muffed punts again and again. The timely development of Walter Camp, Jr., has relieved Howe from punting just as the development of Francis relieved him from placement kicking...
Self-centered conceit is another dominant characteristic of the Chinese. They have an innate feeling that they are superior to other nations in every respect. They regard their civilization as exclusively their own, and have never wanted to borrow anything from outside. Again, China's evolution has been very slow--so slow that hasty observers have made the mistake of thinking that it has never changed at all. It has undergone great transformations, however, for there was once a time when it had no silk, tea, rice, pagodas, or any of the things which are typical of China today...
...times this year by long end runs is greatly in the Freshmen's favor, since Bradlee and Brickley are exceptionally good in this line of work, and have themselves scored most of the team's touch-downs by long runs. Moreover the record of the Freshman team is far superior to that of Princeton. In the three games played so far it has scored 72 points to its opponents' 0. Princeton, on the contrary, has only made 14 points to its opponents' 35, and has been tied by Lawrenceville and beaten by Mercersburg, 17 to 3 and by Exeter...
...individual players, Sprackling is playing in the same form which won for him last year the All-American quarterback position. Much of the team's success must be attributed to his superior playing. The eleven is, however, by no means a one-man organization. Ashbaugh at end has few, if any peers in that position, and Adams is a capable running mate. Bean, Crowther, Marble, Tenney, Jones, and Snell are all first calibre men in the backfield, and with any combination, form an effective ground-gaining machine. The line has received special coaching, and has shown steady improvement. There...
...University second football team defeated a team from the Coast Artillery, 10 to 0, on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. In nearly every department of the game the second team was far superior to its opponents, but was kept from scoring frequently by Geoinett's long runs. His speed enabled him to circle the ends for good gains, and time and again he carried the ball out of danger in this way. Hardwick gained most of the ground for the second team and was the star of the game...
