...second half, owing to the terrific line plunging of Minot, and the defensive work of Captain Fish, the University team came to itself in time to win the game by two points. In this half the Williams team was absolutely outplayed, in fact it lost more ground than it was able to gain...
...ball cleanly. The back-field was rather erratic, at times too slow in starting, and at other times starting before the ball. They ran hard, though it was more through individual brilliancy then team work, that they made their gains. P. D. Smith, Corbett and Frothingham were the best ground gainers, Smith doing especially well...
...good academic standing, but played a strong defensive game on the second eleven, and his line-plunging was one of the features of the practice scrimmages. Corbett and Leslie will probably be the halfbacks. Both are fast, run well through a broken field, and are consistent ground gainers. Sprague, who played against Yale, and Frothingham and Winston of the 1912 team are the substitutes. The hardest task that confronts the coaches is the development of a quarterback, and throughout the spring they have been trying out available material. The same problem, however, came up last year, and Coaches Haughton...
...development of a winning track team depends very largely on efficient coaching. This has already been provided for next year by the reappointment of Coaches Donovan and Quinn; and with material much more promising than that which was available at the start of the past season, there is good ground for expecting next year's record to show improvement over that of 1909. Yale's exceptionally well-balanced team will be much broken by the graduation of several reliable men, so that at present the chances of victory in the dual meet seem good. Concerning the intercollegiates it is much...
...winning of points one year gives ground for expectation, the 1910 team should be a well-balanced one, with least strength in the broad jump and hammer-throw. Foster's remarkable development under Coach Donovan promises another sprinter of Schick's reliability, and Blumer, Watson, Cummin and Billings provide second string material in the two dashes. Blumer, Kelley, Merrihew, and deSelding have all shown much ability in the 440-yard dash, and the first two at least should improve. D. P. Ranney '12, winner of this event in the meet with the Yale freshmen, will be a valuable...
