...field events will probably prove to be Harvard's weakest point, especially the high and broad jumps. The hurdlers also have been somewhat handicapped by their inability to begin actual work until late in the season. The University team should have the advantage on the track, however, the outcome of the two-mile run probably being most doubtful. The members of the University team had no practice yesterday and are in excellent condition for the meet. Points for first, second, and third places will be counted 5, 3 and 1 respectively. Silver and bronze medals will be awarded for first...
...plays did not run off as fast as with Starr in the game, but Newhall, on the whole, used good generalship and his work in catching punts was excellent, in view of the speed and reckless tackling of the Dartmouth ends. Although White was the weakest of the linemen, many gains were made between Kersburg and Squires. Brill and Squires were the most reliable ground-gainers for Harvard, and used with success a new tackleback formation. Harrison was by far the best defensive back, and time and again was effective by stopping plays which had broken through weak places...
...Freshman lacrosse team will play its first regular game of the season with the Columbia second team at 2 o'clock in the Stadium.

On the attack the team is strong. This will be the first game of the season for the Columbia team. The time of halves will be 15 and 20 minutes. A. E. Goddard sL. will act as referee. H. A. A. tickets will admit to this game...
...Although a high wind prevented fast time in the field events, the excellent condition of the track and the unusually large number of entries contributed toward good performances. Yesterday's work, however, proved that there is still a lack of good material in the field events, of which the weakest was the shot...
...justification offered for these "hateful conditions," President Eliot says, is that football is a fight and that its strategy and ethics are those of war. New tricks are always desirable as surprises; the weaker man is the legitimate prey of the stronger. "One should always try to discover the weakest man in the opponent's line, as, for example, the man most recently injured, and attack him again and again. If a man, by repeated blows about the head and particularly on the jaw, has been visibly dazed, he is the man to attack at the next onset...
