...faults by which both the Princeton and Yale games were lost are such as may be corrected next year if attended to early in the season. The fact that the Yale men outweighed us, man for man, in almost every case, and yet were unable to break through our line, seems to prove that size is not an absolutely necessary element in the composition of the Team. Our rushers were as good as, if not better than, any that Harvard has ever sent into the field, and, although improvement in catching the ball might have added to the efficacy...
...take enough studies in any one branch to get honorable mention, may have an average of 84 1/2 per cent and yet receive only an ordinary degree; in fact, a poorer degree than the four-years student with 65 per cent and an honorable mention. To draw the line still more sharply, in the case supposed (and such a case has actually occurred in the Senior class), the student if he gets 1/2 per cent more gets a "magna;" in other words, he either gets a magna or only a common degree; he is entirely ruled out from all chance...
...oppose Yale's veteran eleven - all of her players had been at least one year on the 'Varsity - we had a team made up almost entirely of new men. Yale outweighed us, too, considerably, the average weight of her rushers being over 170 pounds. To support this line of forwards, they had Camp, Watson, and Badger, well known as fine half-backs. Our men, on the other hand, were lighter, and rather weak in their half-backs, the latter fact being especially noticeable in the game. The time set for beginning was 2.30; and, a little later than that, notwithstanding...
...about a length, near the end of the first mile, with '81 second, and '82 virtually out of the race. But now the Seniors commenced a magnificent spurt, and drew up inch by inch on '83. The latter spurted also, but too late, as the Seniors crossed the line a third of a length ahead. Time : '81, 9 min. 4 1/2 sec.; '83, 9 min. 5 1/2 sec. The Juniors came in, without hurrying, about three-quarters of a minute later, Mr. W. A. Bancroft was referee...
...case of a punt-out, the players of the side to which the ball is punted-out must be at least fifteen feet from the goal line. The opposite side may line anywhere in goal provided the punter-out has five feet clear, extending from his scratch in the direction of touch. Punter-out must not be in any way interfered with. A punt-out must be a kick from...
