...squad has suffered this year from the lack of weight among the candidates. Indeed this has been every year a handicap to Freshman elevens: The success of J. L. Knox '98 as a coach for the past two years has been due largely to his policy of developing fast interference and careful execution of line plays. The plan this season will be directed for the same end,-to make dash and snap make up for lack of weight. Accordingly, although the playing of the squad has been undeniably ragged, it has been encouraging in that it has shown a gratifying...
...After only two weeks practice with such a large squad, it is very difficult and hardly desirable to put the strongest combination of men in the field. The team has, however, learned the elementary points of the game, and in the last few days of scrub practice, has formed fast and close interference. Practically the same men have played on the first eleven since Wednesday and should therefore have developed some team play. Wesleyan, on the other hand, has not had the difficulty of forming an eleven from new material, as eight men of last year's team have returned...
...Hyde, who was first tried this year, proved unsatisfactory, and Head coach McBride made the experiment of putting Hale, last year's centre, in at fullback. With constant coaching, Hale has improved steadily as a back, and is good man for the position. His line-bucking is hard and fast. Another important change has been to put Keane in at quarterback, so that the ratio between quarterbacks and halfbacks might be equalized...
...hard work of the season began on Sept. 24, when McBride entered upon his duties as head-coach. Hard, fast line-ups take place every day, and the men are already in good training. A strong nucleus of last year's players tends to make the eleven a unit, and already the team play has been a feature of the game. A number of graduates have aided in the coaching, prominent among them Cutten, the old centre...
...Swan '03 and Cudaha '03. W. A. Boal '00, M. Donald '99, B. G. Waters '95, W. H. Lewis '95 and J. S. Cochrane '99 were out in football clothes, and worked hard over the linesmen. The preliminary practice at punting, tackling and breaking through was hard and fast and it was late in the afternoon before the first eleven lined up against the third of two halves of eight and five minutes each. In the signal practice, the coaches drilled the backs carefully in the formation of the plays, but in the line-up the results of this were...
