Saturday chronicled the first meeting of Harvard and Brown in foothall. In many ways it was the most satisfactory game of the season, not because Harvard made her this year's record in number of points won, but because the eleven was given an excellent test of its defensive work. Brown displayed strong aggressive qualities, stronger, perhaps, than that shown by any other of the visiting teams. This unexpected strength was a surprise, and Harvard was not fully prepared to meet it. Brown started with the ball and chiefly through the telling work of Millard, pushed it quickly down...
...defensive work of the first eleven was admirable. The graduates failed to gain five yards in all during both halves, with the exception of the usual five on the opening V plays and Hallowell's run. The interference, however, was weak and failed to stand the test of good individual work. Clarke did the best rushing of the backs, but did not prove effective in the interference. Dunlop, too, can improve much in this respect...
...demand for good tutors, and up to this time there has been no means of telling what men were capable of doing this sort of work. Now a man who thinks himself capable of tutoring may very materially add to his chances of securing employment by passing the test of the French Department and being recommended in certain courses. As many men in college are dependent to a great degree on tutoring to pay their expenses, any such move as this, whereby the names of capable tutors are brought before the students, backed up by good authority, is helpful...
This is precisely the mood which we urge the students to cultivate just at this time, for their patience and their faith in the team are soon to be put to a much harder test. Early next week the team will be decided upon, or at least a good idea of its composition will be in the minds of the authorities; work on Soldier's Field will then begin, and the actual campaign for the Springfield game will open in earnest. This work will be done in secret, behind closed gates. With this secret practice, chances for the usual crop...
Today at eleven our nine will leave from Leavitt und Peirce's to make this test against Princeton. To be sure it is not the one culminating point in the baseball season, but it is one of the most important games. And, moreover, it is the only opportunity which the college has to turn out in a body to give the team the encouragement of a hearty demonstration of confidence and enthusiasm. Princeton has, perhaps, one of the strongest nines which ever represented her. Harvard though sending forth a team for whose success she has great hoes, cannot afford...
