...Boston papers put it. "Bates Holds Harvard to 14 to 0 Score." Of course, the wet field made the game treacherous; but, though Bates, was at no time dangerous, she certainly proved that the University team needs a lot of that the University team needs a lot of training in certain departments and especially among the second string men. The game Saturday was distinctly a kicking contest and the work of the Harvard punters was very encouraging compared to that in the Maine game. The punts were not very long, but they were well placed and were high enough...
Soldiers Field proved too wet for the regular scrimmaging yesterday, so the football squad put in an afternoon learning new plays, based upon a formation which has not been used before by the squad this year. The drill was very thorough, concluding with an hour of dummy scrimmage in which an attempt was made to perfect the new formations. They look well in theory, but it is of course difficult to tell just how they will actually work until they are tried out in a game. The practice this afternoon will probably also be light, as is the custom...
...called the Lampoon are herewith notified that the hockey team representing the said slush-sheet will receive its just desert--the knock-out punch,--at the hands of the almighty CRIMSON hockey team (applause!) on the Stadium rink this afternoon at 4.15 o'clock. Despite the funny face now wet with tears, despite the resounding cracks between the bony knees of the irate Ibis, the invincible CRIMSON aggregation will cause the frozen H2O on the Stadium to gleam with the brilliance of their repeated shots into the cage so futilely guarded by the erstwhile happy artists of our nutty contemp...
...scoring six points against West Point, which was beaten by Carlisle last week 27 to 6. Princeton, on the other hand, although defeating Dartmouth by a large score, lost to Harvard 16 to 6. The advantage today will undoubtedly depend considerably on the condition of the field, a wet field aiding the heavy Yale team, while a firm dry turf will permit the fast Princeton backfield to play to the best advantage...
Every precaution has been taken at Princeton to prevent any injuries to the first team men by scrimmage on the wet field of the past three days. Much attention has been paid to punting drill and it is now expected that DeWitt will probably do the majority of this work in today's game, as he gets his kicks away quicker than either Waller or Penfield. H. Baker has also done some very satisfactory work in place kicking and will probably be given a chance to show his ability in this direction. All of the men are in the best...
