...track team is in need of candidates for the hammer-throw for the spring season. Coach Clark is at Soldiers Field between the Stadium and the baseball stand every afternoon from 2.30 to 4.30 o'clock. The team is especially weak in the hammer-throw and if a victory is to be won from Yale next spring it is necessary that candidates report this fall while the weather remains such that practice can be held out deers. Furthermore, by learning the essentials now, fully a month's head start will be gained on those who start next spring...
Yale's first game was little more than a flaseo, the weak Maine team being smothered under a 37 to 0 score. As was to prove the case for many weeks, however the Blue's representative was not a team but a Blue squad of eleven men. Careless handling of Thurman's clever punts was as the chief factor in the first reverse for Yale, and Virginia took a 10 to 0 victory. By desperate plugging through the line, Yale was barely able to defeat Lehigh 7 to 6 the next Saturday, and the following week the Elis took...
...expected, the first game, with Colby, proved a fertile field for the appearance of weaknesses in the team's play. That the University was able to run up 39 points was simply an indication of individual prowess; that the mediocre Colby team scored 6 points was due to the weakness of the Crimson line. The following Saturday brought forth a brand of football little better. "Watchful waiting," with Harte's interception of a forward pass in the last few minutes of play, gave Harvard a 7 to 0 victory over M. A. C. The same well-known policy proved lucrative...
...hailed as the best ever, and with a record of having tied last year's championship eleven, next came to Cambridge and after the test at the Stadium went back to Pennsylvania with a 13 to 0 defeat. Although the Harvard line was inferior, and the interference still noticeably weak, Captain Mahan's brilliant play and Parson's keen following of the ball gave the University two touchdowns, which proved decisive. In this game there appeared for the first time an embryonic power in the University's attack, ragged but great, for the second score was the direct result...
...University association football team will face Yale on Soldiers Field this afternoon. Yale's record in the two league games she has played is somewhat better than the University's, but the Elis' victory was over the weak Cornell team, while the best Yale could get against Princeton was a tie, at a time when the latter team was badly disorganized by the loss of three players who were found to be ineligible. The University's defeat, on the other hand, was by the strong Columbia team, which at present leads the league. The Harvard players have been steadily improving...
