...backfield--two of the essential rudiments--Annapolis was much superior. The Harvard backfield lacked concentrated power and was only effective at brief intervals, never getting the ball dangerously close to the line by rushing. All of which goes to show the relative strength of the team today in comparison with a strong team. We should be grateful for a tie score under the circumstances...
...defense. No amount of scrimmaging against a weak line will bring out a team's possibilities. From all accounts the Navy is a strong opponent for this stage of the season, with an aggressive line and quite a variety of backfield men, one or two of whom will stand comparison with the best backs of the big teams. They are without the services of last year's remarkable ends, and are in this respect considerably handicapped.

Finally, the Republican idea that price is limited only by the market value of foreign goods is false, and its falsity is shown by a comparison of prices in this country and abroad...
...there is but little first-class material for the distance runs. H. Guild '10, E.L. Viets '10, R.F. Hoyt '10, J.R. Coolidge '10, R.E. Dole '10, C. Lanier '10, and M.H. Whitney '09 have all shown some ability in the runs, but are for the most part inexperienced in comparison with the Yale runners...

The stroke-oars in both crews have never rowed in a four-mile race. Griswold of Yale stroked the Yale winning four-oar last year, while Sargent, the Harvard stroke, rowed two on the Freshman crew. In form, however, Sargent is the superior man of the two. His stroke has a better proportion and the rhythm is decidedly more even. The stroke that Yale is roivipg this...
