Attention is called to the order of the chief marshal, Mr. Storrow, that men who are to march in the procession this evening be in Harvard square at 6 P. M., or as soon after as possible, to take the horse cars for Boston. One of the worst features of large processions is the delay in forming caused by delinquents. That Harvard shall be on time at the start is the desire of the chief marshal, and the extra cars have been ordered to start beginning at 6. The dinner hour at Memorial is now 5.30, so that...
...worst thing, however, is their high tackling. It is truly melancholy to see rusher after rusher jump for a player's neck, only to be warded off, dodged or carried along, and this too against light men-what will it be against Yale's big, heavy rushers ? Low tackling is always the best tackling, and it is a great compensation to short men in foot ball that they can tackle low more easily and effectively than tall men. Now our rushers are short, stocky men, and will play against large men ; and yet, with one or two exceptions, they deliberately...
...downs; when if one player had tackled him around the hips and upset him, as one can do only by getting in the way of his legs, he could not make five feet. With one or two exceptions, our rushers all jump for the neck and shoulders.-the very worst thing they could do. It is well enough against men of their own weight, but heavier men will ward them off, dodge them, or carry them along, every time. Tackle a man low (not unfairly low, of course), and get in the way of his legs, and he upsets right...
...history courses open to them receiving the greatest number-about eighty each. This is all very pleasant, so far; history is a subject well suited to freshman year, and the instructors in Latin, Greek and Mathematics probably congratulate themselves on having got rid of their slowest students and the worst of the examination books. But we cannot tell yet. It will be two or three years before the effects of the change will be fully felt. The friends of Latin, Greek and Mathematics will be sorry to see the advanced electives in these subjects slowly thin out. Harvard is already...
...their game with Yale on Saturday Harvard disappointed a crowd of 3,500 people by making the worst exhibition of ball playing that we have ever seen from a university nine. The game opened at 3 P. M. with Yale at the bat. They soon retired in order, the last two men striking out. For Harvard, after Coolidge went out, Baker and Phillips made hits, LeMoyne flied out to Brigham, and Baker scored. Tilden made another hit sending Phillips to second. They went to second and third respectively on Booth's muff of Souther's throw, but Allen fouled...
