...columns about the way in which the placard-boards of the University buildings are being used or rather mis-used? What is the average condition of the boards? They are covered from one week's end to another with the flaring advertisements of private firms. If a student, a team, or a society wishes to post an announcement, the notice can of course be added to an existing accumulation. But what good is the notice if an hour later it is to be buried under Smith, Jones & Co.'s unparalleled offer in the clothing line...
...rest of the game 1903 was on the defensive, and by the splendid punting of Stillman, prevented their opponents from scoring. The latter, by vigorous rushing with the tackles, often ran the ball well into the Freshman territory, but lost it by fumbling at critical times. The 1903 team was able to make few gains by rushing the ball. In the second half neither side scored a touchdown. Late in the half, however, Lovering kicked a pretty goal from the field from the forty-yard line and at a difficult angle. The Sophomores were rushing the ball rapidly down...
...most important result of the game is the fact that the Freshman team has been over-rated. Stillman is a fine punter, and a useful rusher, but is the only man on the eleven above the average. The line is weak, as was proved by the successful attacks made upon it by the Sophomores, and plays a spiritless game. On the offense, the lack of team play was apparent, and accounts for the failure of the eleven to gain ground by rushing...
...Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon the Senior eleven won from the Juniors by a score of 15 to 0. All three of the touchdowns were well-merited by 1900, who had the advantage of a heavier team on a slippery field. Slowly but steadily the Seniors advanced the ball, about the middle of the first half, from the centre of the field to within a yard or two of 1901's goal line. On the third down, Shaw broke through the centre for the remaining short distance. Continued hammering in the same half also brought about the second touchdown, which Lowrie...
...Seniors deserved to win. Not only was their team heavier and the handling of the ball cleaner, but their playing was far more aggressive than 1901's. Of the plays that were tried, the guards-back formation worked most successfully, especially when Shaw took the ball. On a double-pass to quarterback, Hatch once made seven or eight yards. Gains were also frequently made through the line because the forwards, by starting before their opponents, usually succeeded in charging them back and opening up holes for the runner. Although the backs never supported the runner any too well, individually they...
