There are only about 30 candidates who report regularly for Freshman winter track, and more should come out to insure its success, and particularly the success of the Worcester meet. The events in which the squad is weakest are the 1,000-yard and 600-yard runs, and the hurdles. The team has a good high jumper in J. Buffington '20 and the members of the relay team, after their defeat of the Yale freshmen last Saturday, seem assured of their places. In all the other events, however, there is need of more candidates...
...borne fruit, and with Coach Haughton able to be at practice regularly from that time on, the team began to find itself. Massachusetts Agriculture College was overwhelmed, 47 to 0, on October 21, and this victory seemed to instill confidence in the team. M. A. C. has undoubtedly the weakest team the University, has opposed this year and had not recovered from its defeat by Dartmouth the week before, but the fact that it was able to make only one first down, which was disallowed owing to a penalty, indicated that the strength of the Crimson line had been enormously...
...Virginia football team has been devoting an unusual amount of time this week to trying out new forward, passes and to improving their interference. This is the weakest spot on the team. The backfield is made up of good men, but they show insufficient team-work. The defence as a unit has been better since the Yale game but still has much room for improvement. The present line with the exception of the wings, is regarded as the equal of last year's, and the backfield has been strengthened by the substitution of Kinsolving at left half for Smith...
...Freshman track team lost to Phillips Exeter Academy 63 to 45, Saturday afternoon. The defeat came as a surprise, for the Freshman team had beaten Andover easily last week and appeared to have strength where Exeter was weakest. Several upsets, however, occurred which robbed the 1919 team of many points. Remarkable performances were registered in the 880-yard and one-mile runs and the broad and high jumps. The Freshman athletes took all three places in the hammer-throw, while H. C. Flower, Jr., '19 broke the Freshman record for the broad-jump by 4 inches...
...weakest point in Cornell's squad is the quarter-mile. For several years the Ithacans have not had a star 440 man, and this year they have no one as fast as Willcox of the university team. Cornell is, however, unusually strong in the distance events. Windnagle, with a record of 1.56 to his credit, is the best of a good squad of half-milers. Cornell is equally strong in the mile and two-mile races...
