Yesterday afternoon the Freshman eleven played against the second team in secret practice. At times the offensive work was ragged, but the defensive was good. During the line-up against the second, three goals from the field were made. A number of men were tried in different positions on the first eleven. McGrew, tackle, and Derby, halfback, were both slightly injured, but will be able to play by Saturday. The line-up of the backs and ends for Saturday's game is still undecided. The practice will probably continue to be secret for the rest of the week...
...first the Conference was looked upon as a means of securing political combinations, but this was changed by the attitude of the American delegation. The most important work was done in the meetings of the committees of which there were three: one on Disarmament, one on the Laws of War, and one on Arbitration. The first committee suggested that the Powers should consider a means of limiting their armaments. The second committee made the laws of war more humane. By far the most important results were those obtained by the committee on arbitration. Before the Hague treaty was signed there...
...noticeable fact was that Harvard had developed a perfect defense at the expense of the kicking game; and the rushing, although irresistable at times, was erratic and ineffective in emergencies. This last means very little, however, when compared with Yale's general work. In the first half Harvard equalled Yale in punting, and, in rushing, made over three times as many yards. In the second half Harvard was greatly out-punted, but gained about two and a half times as much distance by rushing as Yale did. The chief reasons why McBride could not outkick Hallowell in the first half...
...Daly's work in the back-field was good and perhaps the best part of his game. The Yale team showed so much unexpected strength that his plan of attack required complete and constant changes some of which were open to slight criticism. Sawin was decidedly the best halfback in the game. He played in perfect accord with Daly, and clipped many yards off of McBride's punts by his clever, dodging runs. He made the longest gain of the day by a 33 yard run around Gibson in the first half. The end plays and double passes around...
...Boat Club and the University crews will use it. The location of the building is a short distance above the Boylston Street bridge on the Brighton side of the river. The foundations have been in for some time and the framework is now almost entirely in place. Unfortunately the work has been delayed by the slowness in securing material, and the building can not be completed by the first of February as was hoped, but will be ready for use on March...
