Graydon and Richardson will be tried on the 'Varsity at end, as Cabot and Moulton are hardly in condition to endure the strain of a hard game. Shaw's knee is still too weak to permit his playing and Haskell will probably be substituted in his place...
...promising candidates. The men were drilled in stopping mass plays and the number of coachers present made it possible to give more attention to individual work. Chamberlin, last year's centre, has been placed at tackle and will probably be a fixture in that position. The ends are still weak points in the team, but Hazen and Slocovitch are gaining steadily. The most serious fault of the backs is the tendency to fumble, but this may be overcome. Marshall has been playing at left-guard since Cadwalader's injury, and Sullivan is at quarter now that both DeSaulles...
Harvard showed her most promising form of the year in the game with Cornell on Saturday, which was won with comparative ease by the score of 24-5. Although scored upon the first time this season, the 'Varsity simply outclassed their opponents in straightforward football, being weak in but one particular, namely, punting. Cornell's score was not the result of any superior strength either in the line or among the backs, but of one of those opportunities which, however unevenly two teams may be matched, are always presented through instances of constantly recurring carelessness. In this particular case...
...game showed that Yale is not so weak, as that West Point is remarkably strong. The showing made by the cadets in the Harvard game two weeks ago was an indication of their strength. It was expected that the score would be close, but a tie was not hoped for at West Point. Yale was on the defensive almost throughout and but for McBride's punting, aided by a strong wind, the cadets would have made more than one touchdown. It was clear that on the whole the Yale team was the weaker...
...strong in bucking the line but did not try many end plays, and the fumbling of her backs was pitiful. Time and again she lost the ball in this way. '99 played very much better in this respect, but was weak in her center plays. In the first half the team was run badly, particularly in not taking advantage of the wind and sending the plays against ninety-eight's centre, which was her strongest point. For '99, W. Adams played a splendid all round game...
