...backs, Catholic University has since been beaten by nines inferior to the Crimson, Brown merely broke even, and Boston College has been shown in a second game not to be of the calibre to be rated above Harvard; while Virginia's tie was later in the season more than offset in a shut-out defeat at the hands of Whitney. The season to date gives the University team a record of 833, a very high mark...
...that it is unnecessary to go into details at present. The fact remains that a large number of men have totally failed to bear their share of the University's athletic responsibility, and as a result, the excellent work of our sprinters and long-distance men has often been offset by the shortage of entries in the field events. And to make the situation even worse, the only reason that can be assigned to this lack of material is laziness or indifference...
...contest was marked by erratic fielding. In all, seven errors were made, but this was offset by several really brilliant plays. Davidson, the Brown third-baseman, played his position with consistent cleverness, while Bothfeld and Abbot supplied the features. The former closed Brown's end of the fourth inning by making a pretty running catch of Ormsby's rap to left field and then by doubling Murray at second, who was well on his way toward scoring. Abbot similarly closed out Brown in the eighth with a running stop of Ormsby's hard smash through Garritt. Harte was the star...
...last Saturday's contest Captain Burgess of Yale opened up an old wound in his knee. This injury will probably prevent him from playing tonight. Yale has also suffered the loss of Jacob, Armour, and Buchanan. This loss is partly offset by Princeton's loss of Ford, one of the best goal tenders in intercollegiate hockey, who is at present out of the game on account of his studies...
After the seconds had stood up against the University, they opposed Team B for 20 minutes more. The play in this session was more even, for Rollins' spectacular end-run of 45 yards for a touchdown was offset by Murray's pretty dropkick from the 30-yard line. Aside from the score, the margin of superiority was small, for the seconds, their line-up constantly freshened by substitutions, put up a strong game. They should give a good account of themselves in their contest with the Brown scrubs tomorrow...
