...contact among them all. This task is not confined to any one college, although more urgent in the case of those that have grown the largest and have been moving most rapidly. A number of colleges are feeling their way toward a more definite structure, and since the problem before them is in many cases essentially the same, it is fortunate that they are assisting one another by approaching it from somewhat different directions. What I have to say upon the subject here is, therefore, intended mainly for the conditions we are called upon to face at Harvard...
...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 and Daly developed from green material a quarter whose work was of the best...
...crew remained in this order until the sudden change of a week ago. With six experienced oars in the boat and two of the best oars from last year's winning Freshman crew, the development of the crew was naturally very rapid.

Up to the time of the Columbia race on April 17, the boat was moving very fast. The crew...
Yale started the season with poor prospects. Two members of last year's university eight, last year's substitutes, and the members of the freshman crew formed a nucleus for the 1909 crew. Until after the two-mile race with Pennsylvania, in which Yale was defeated, there was the problem of finding a stroke. Captain Howe was tried, but was found to be too heavy and slow for the position. After the race Wallis, who stroked Yale's winning university four last year, was put in at stroke, Howe returning to his old seat at 6. The other places were...
...favorably decided, but many of the live issues raised have been allowed practically to die out. What looked like a successful movement in the direction of a new Gymnasium has apparently entirely dropped from the attention of the undergraduates. We do not know whether the Corporation is considering the problem; we only hope that it is, for by a decision there we could get something definite done. But it was felt by many that the undergraduates should be the first to act, and that a generous subscription raised by them, although unable to pay for much of the building, would...
