...loss of seven valuable point winners from last year's team, the prospects for this season are, on the whole, encouraging. The success or failure of the team in the important meets will depend largely upon the regularity of work and training of the men who ought to win second and third places. There are several men from last year's Freshman team, who should obtain results this year, but the men from Yale's 1910 team are by no means to be over-looked. The University team will have back next spring men who won 39 points...
...year. The loss of P. C. Lockwood '07, who won the 100-yard dash in the dual meet and was the only man to get a place in the sprints in the intercollegiate games last spring, will be felt severely, as there is no man at present, able to win a second place in these events. Men who should develop into good sprinters by spring are L. Watson '10, E. V. B. Parke '08, and P. Edwards '08. Yale will have back L. B. Stevens '08, who won second place in the 220-yard dash, and R. B. Burch...
...yard run, M. B. Van Brunt '08, who was the only man to win a place last year in this event in the dual meet, will again compete. Promising candidates for this event are E. Becker '08, W. F. Whitcher '09, and R. Warren '10, and H. Watson '10 of the 1910 Freshman team. Yale will again have V. V. Tilson '08 and S. D. Frissell '08, who won first and third places in the dual meet last spring...
...University team has lost only two point winners in the field events, while Yale has lost five, and it should therefore be exceptionally strong in these events this spring. The University should win the high jump and the shot-put, the broad jump is undecided, and the pole-vault and hammer-throw will almost surely go to Yale. Of the five places won in the intercollegiate games last spring, four were won in the field events, and all but two by men still in College...
...consistent policy. But what we need most is patience--not the sort which endeavors to smooth over a defeat and immediately tries a new coach as a drastic remedy, but the patience which fixes its support upon one man or body of men and backs them until they win. Only the most strong-minded committee or captain can survive the attacks resulting from the existing feeling of restlessness. With the right sort of confidence a mediocre but enduring system will accomplish more than spasmodic attempts to secure a brilliant player are coach for one year...
