...rowing at 3 in the Newell eight, stopped rowing. Frost was tried in his place, but as he could not row in the race, Morris, who rowed bow in last year's Freshman crew, but has not been in training this fall, was put in at bow yesterday, and DuBois was moved from bow to Glidden's place at 3. Although Morris is a very good oar, any change at so late a date tends to make the crew considerably slower. The race is sure to be well contested and is likely to be won or lost in the last...
...number of the Monthly which came out yesterday begins with a most interesting article by Professor Hollis on "The Moral Aspect of College Sports." "The politics, the heavy physical strain, and the distractions of certain sports seem to outweigh, in many minds," says Professor Hollis in this article, "the positive good that springs from them. This prejudice is, doubtless, based upon the abuses of ten or fifteen years back, when athletics had run mad. Things have changed, however, and the old influences have disappeared. Many practices once thought legitimate have been given up as leading to bad sport, and college...
...practice game against the second eleven yesterday afternoon, the first eleven scored four touchdowns and one goal from the field in twenty-three minutes play. There were few fumbles by the first eleven, but many by the second. The tackling in general was poor and the men had no success in following the ball. Great effort was made to perfect team play which resulted in good pushing in the line plays. As Hallowell was slightly injured and Campbell did not go into the line-up, the work of the ends was weak. The kicking by Sawin, however, was good, especially...
...line-up between the first eleven and the scrub yesterday, the Freshman team showed signs of loose playing. The backs bucked the line often without effect, and the second was able to make repeated gains through the centre. The only encouraging feature was the good punting of Stillman, who is beginning to raise his kicks high enough for the ends to get down in time. Several changes were made in the line-up. Jones was tried at right guard instead of Riggs, who until recently has filled the position regularly. McGrew also went in, in place of Nickerson at left...
...second of the hare and hound runs was held yesterday afternoon. The course was up Garden street to Fresh Pond, around the pond, down Brattle street to Mason street and from there across the Common to the Gymnasium. About forty men came out. There were no hares and there was no break at the finish. The pace was faster than that of last week, and the distance covered about five miles. The next run will be held on Wednesday...
