...general, this year's strong defense will be broken up by the loss of the three best linemen. Of course with suitable material, Coach Lewis can build up another defense, but from the present outlook, the team, and especially the line, will be lighter than this year. On the offense, no serious loss will be felt. In punting also, with Reid and Hallowell still in College, the only change can be a gain. With the lessons of this season in mind, it is safe to say that the gain will be a decided...
...coaching of Hickok. Brown is in fine form, and at present is looked upon as a candidate for next year's captaincy. Cunha, at centre, has not been all that was desired. He is not an aggressive man and often allows himself to be outplayed by much lighter men. A great deal of time has been spent in steadying him down by opposing him with old Yale players until he is now fairly formidable. Cutten has been disabled by illness which in part has accounted for his absence from the game. He has been in training but a short time...
...entered the recent practice. Sharpe, who has been Yale's best ground-gainer so far this season, and who will do all the drop-kicking, is playing left halfback. For the other halfback position, there are several prominent candidates. As Sharpe and McBride both weigh over 180 pounds, a lighter man for end-circling has been sought and found in Kiefer. Against the smaller colleges he has shown fine ability to score. Adams, of last year's freshman team, and Shattuck, substitute on the '98 'varsity, are two other light men whose work has been very satisfactory. Fincke is first...
Regular instruction in gymnastics will be given this year at the Hemenway Gymnasium as in years past. A class in heavy gymnastics for those who have already had considerable practice will be held at four o'clock every day except Saturday. A five o'clock class for lighter developing exercises will also meet daily except Saturdays. On Tuesday and Friday evenings a supplementary class in general gymnastics will be held. Any men who wish individual instruction in either light or heavy gymnastics should apply to the instructor, Mr. Francis Dohs...
...nothing could defeat them, but they have not gone ahead much since reaching New London. They are an exceptionally heavy lot, but unlike most heavy crews have plenty of snap and life. They average 170 pounds apiece and in four miles heavy crews are apt to suffer more than lighter ones. They have given no exceptional exhibition of ability so far as time is concerned, but they are perfectly together and perfect in form. Between Yale and Harvard probably lies the fight for second place. Harvard will be represented today by a crew in perfect condition for a four mile...
