...River High School eleven on Jarvis Field Saturday afternoon in a game characterized by miserable tackling and loose playing generally. Kendricken, Frothingham and Dunn were the only men who tackled effectively and the freshmen were able to run up a large score against the visitors only because of their heavier rush line. The High School team did not play as good a game as it had been expected they would; during the last half they were badly demoralized, and played without spirit...
...muddy and the ball became so slippery that it was hard to hold. The first half was thirty minutes but the second was shortened to fifteen minutes as the rain made it dark earlier than usual. Both teams played well but made few brilliant plays. Ninety was a little heavier in the rush line, and often succeeded in getting through to Ninety-two's half backs, but Ninety-two was able to make holes rather to often considering the weight against them. Only once in the game did Ninety-two have the ball dangerously near Ninety's goal and that...
Although it is but five weeks before the Harvard-Yale game, the Yale team has not yet got into good trim. The men in the rushline are a little heavier than those of last year's team. The backs are about the same in weight. The second eleven scores against the first daily, and frequently holds the 'varsity down to two touchdowns. Changes may be made but the team will probably be maee up as follows...
...Jarvis field dressed for practice. The candidates for the freshman eleven began work a little after three o'clock. The number of freshmen trying for their class eleven is unusually large, and the material seems to be rather better than it has been in recent years. The men are heavier than usual, and display an energetic spirit and willingness to work which promises well. About three-quarters of an hour was spent in passing the ball, kicking, and drilling in rush line work. There are a few men among the candidates who are of unusual ability, but the greater part...
...best record at this game in this country, states that Leavitt was done an injustice, and if the officials at a competition where he was taking part should decide that he would have to lend his pole, which was built expressly for his weight, to a man much heavier, who was liable to break it, that he would withdraw from the competition. He considered a man's pole fully as private as his pair of spike shoes. At the next meeting of the A. A. U. they will probably pass a resolution coinciding with Mr. Baxter's ideas...
