...centre field yesterday. He had no chances in the field, but he did well at the bat, making one sacrifice hit and a timely single. An inexcusable misunderstanding between him and the coacher, however, led to his being caught off first base in the third inning be a simple trick. Murphy again played well at second base, but he made the only fielding error for the team by poor handling of Never's grounder in the third. The infield played well other-wise, expect for slow handling of Blanchard's scratch hit between third and short in the second inning...
...Recognition of this facts means broad-mindedness and fairness in discussion. Just here is where intercollegiate debating may prove something of a nuisance. It exists for the purpose of winning something, and therefore the undergraduate--not the coaches--wonders whether he may not contrive "trick plays" in his argument, whether he, too, cannot snap the ball back with double passes, and in his course work he comes to you with a brief in which he has tried carefully to conceal the large part of his case.

Lawrence was the only man in the line who had any effectiveness against the tackesback formation, and is was he that put what strength there was in the right side of the line. Harvard's only ground gainer was Fincke. After taking Captain Daly's place toward...
...game opened by Yale's kicking the ball to Harvard's twenty yard line, from which point it was brought back to the forty yard line by Pruyn and Meier. Here the ball was lost to Yale owing to the poor execution of a trick formation and holding in the line. Harvard then recovered the ball on downs and afterwards, by straight football only, was able to send Meier, Pruyn and Lindsay across the line for touchdowns with but little resistance from Yale. Hutchinson kicked the three goals. The rest of the game was characterized by a slight spurt...
