DEC 9 Football Revew Number VoL. V-No. 9 HARTFORD, CONN., FRDAY, DECEMBER 8, 9 REVEW OF FOOTBALL SEASON. TRNTY'S RECORD FOR 9. t s dffcult for the Trpod to revew Trnty's football season and at the same tme keep ts phrases wthn the lmts of becomng modesty. t s almost mpossble for a Trnty man to thnk of the season just closed and to restran hs feelng of prde from takng shape n the utterance of words of perhaps exaggerated prase. Undergraduates, faculty, alumn and other followers of Trnty are proud of the record made by the team ths year and we have grounds for our prde. Trnty took a promnent place n the football world last year and drew wde attenton and favorable comment from the crtcs, beng ranked by most of them as the leader of the smaller colleges. Havng made ths record last year, Trnty from the very begnnng of the present season was closely watched by all football enthusasts. t was known that n Trnty would be seen the new open game worked out to ts hghest state of development and that here would be found a lght but powerful team whch would play the game for all there was n t and take every possble advantage offered under the new rules. These people were not dsapponted. Trnty started the season wth only four men playng n ther old postons on the team and wth four men n the lneup who had never been there before as regulars; yet by the tme that the second week of the season came on the team was whpped nto the shape whch carred t through the season wthout a defeat and won for t the hghest prase of nearly every crtc n the East. As was the case last year, the feature of Trnty's play was the way she used the open game. As the New York Post says "Trnty has the best conceved open game of any team n the East." Wth three fast and powerful men n the backfeld to run the ends, a quarterback who was an artst wth the forward pass and onsde kck, and ends and tackles who followed the ball every mnute and were extremely clever n recejvmg passes and onsde kcks, Trnty was full equpped to use the open game. Trnty successfully completed twenty-sx forward passes n sx games. n the Haverford game no passes were tred on account of the slppery ball. n the Brown game only three were tred and were all unsuccessful. We have no statstcs as to how many passes Trnty tred, but at the most t was not more than 6 and the fact that nearly half of these were successful seems to argue that the forward pass s a very useful means of advancng the ball-f you know how to use t. (Take heed Walter Camp and you others who would stll tnker wth the rules. Trnty was equally successful wth the onsde kck. Eleven kcks safely recovered, two of them for touchdowns was the record; add to ths the fact that Cook never lost ground on hs kcks, whether they were recovered or not. Hs theory was not to kck short, but low and out of the reach of the opposte backs. n ths he was most successful as, for example, n the Brown game where he had Spracklng chasng hs boundng punts all over the feld and t was only the Brown quarter's great speed whch enabled hm to recover the ball befo;-e Trnty's ends could reach t. C. Howell who captaned the team made a sprted and vgorous leader. He played left end and wth Ahern made up the fastest par of wngs that have represented Trnty n years. He was good at open feld runnng, but hs strong pont was the manner n whch he followed the ball. He was always down under punts and pcked up several of Cook's onsde kcks. He also receved the forwar<; pass. Howell was partcularly good n blockng punts and pckng up fumbles. Ahern at rght end dd most spectacular work. Trnty has never had a man who followed the ball to better effect. Three tmes he pcked up fumbles or blocked punts and ran wth the ball for touchdowns.. He fell on several fumbles; and tme and agan he receved forward passes for long gans. He and Howell were down under every punt ready ether to tackle the runner or pck up the ball, f the opposng back faled to hold t. Hs end runs ganed many yards. Howell and Ahern both graduate ths June. Ther places wll be hard to fll Trnty never had a better par of ends. Cook played n hs thrd year at quarter and n hs work rested the secret of much of Trnty's success. Hs puntng was perhaps unexcelled n the country. The pecular mert of hs kcks was that whle they were long they were generally out of the reach of the opposng backs and many tmes Trnty's ends reached the ball before ther opponents. Cook also threw hs forward passes wth accuracy and handled hs team wth skll and judgment. The manner n whch he ran back punts was extremely spectacular, especally n the Amherst and Wesleyan games. Bleecker at center s the fourth senor on the team. He has held hs poston for two years and hs work has always been marked by a rare combnaton of aggressveness and steadness. He. has not made a poor pass n two years, whch s the more remarkable n that Trnty had one play where Bleecker was forced to pass to Cook whle the latter was runnng back and (Contnued on page 3) Football Revew Number PRCE FVE CENTS F R ESHMEN D NE N PEACE.

The Marble Hall Hotel n Holyoke was the scene last nght of one of the most successful freshmen-junor banquets of recent years. About 5 sat down to the feast, and the occason was noteworthy for lack of sophomorc nterrupton. The scenes of general rough-house whch have been promnent features n the past, were conspcuous by ther absence, whch only proves that a good tme s often to be had n a more or less dgnfed way. And that they dd have a good tme was the unanmous vote of both classes when they reached the college shortly after mdnght. The charman of the banquet commttee was G. Dawson Howell, Jr., and to hs careful plannng, wth the assstance of the other members of the commttee, s to be attrbuted most of the credt for ts success. After the bg fake of only two days prevous, the sophomores were slghtly off ther guard, wth the result that by ten o'clock Wednesday nght most of the freshmen were out of reach. Later n the evenng the sophomores woke up to w hat was takng place, but because of the rule prohbtng detenton of freshmen from classes they deemed t useless to do anythng about t untl mornng. The front rows n chapel Thursday mornng were mute testmony to the success of t he getaway, for they contaned less than a dozen members of the class, some of whom. dd not ntend to go, others beng detaned because of lack of cuts. T hese last were under close survellance, but managed to make ther escape n an automoble. Among those was Slee, who was later captured n Holyoke, decorated artstcally wth the sophomore colors and numerals, and sent back to the functon. Whether the menu or the speeches were most enjoyed s an open queston. Certan t s that unsuspected powers of oratory were developed. Rchard L. Deppen, '3, was awarded.the palm for hs dscourse on "Trnty Grls." t may be argued that the subject s one on whch anyone may be eloquent, but for that very reason t s the more dffcult to speak so as to mert especal commendaton. The commttee receved many congratulatons for ts astuteness n selectng one for ths toast who so conclusvely demonstrated hs pecular ftness to respond to t. Capt. Collett gave an optmstc but thoroughly sane outlne of the football prospects for 92. Ex-Capt. Howell was present n an honorary capacty. The presdents of the two classes made addresses, mutually complmentary. Knney spoke for the football team from a freshman vewpont and Sttes gave a talk on college sprt that was well receved. The menu cards were more elaborate than usual, beng prnted n artstc style on gray board, wth the colors of the freshmen class cleverly worked n on The second regular meetng of the Senate was called to order by Presdent Brd at 7 p. m. on December 4th n the the Trpod Room.

To the Edtor of the Trpod The faculty has forbdden a basketball team representng the college to fulfll ts contracts, and has ordered a suspenson of the sport for one year, but, understand, has permtted an rresponsble body of underclassmen to schedule and play games wth preparatory schools, etc. The chef reason for dsbandng the 'varsty team was that ts qualty n the past few years has been very nferor and has brought no credt to the' college. Do the college authortes stop to consder that when ths free-lance underclass team loses a game to So-and-So's Preparatory School, the newspapers wll be sure to menton the losers as the "Trnty College fve?" The student body n the man applauded the frst acton of the faculty toward reform, but oh! reform t altogether! SENOR. "NOW THEN, TRNTY."

3 - _- (Cont.nu~d from, page_ ) away from the center. Bleecker was a. powerful man on the defense and hs speed enabled hm to meet plays through tackle and end as well as L.rough the center. Collett, captan of next year's team, has played rght' half for the last two 'years. Hs specal value lay n hs great speed, whch was very useful n end runs. There were few wng men whom he could not beat and turn n n a.sprnt across the feld. n the secondary defense hs tackles were sure and. he broke up many forward passes. J. B. Moore was one of the sensatons of the team, especally n the Brown.game. Weghng only 55 pounds, he,played guard and dstngushed hmself by hs ablty to break through the heavest lne and spol an opposng play before t was farly started. Lawlor was shfted from guard to -half-back ths year and n ths poston.he made full use of hs strength and _speed. He seldom faled to open up bg holes n lne plays and hs nterference on end runs was good. n runnng wth the ball he was very fast and b~oke away for many long end runs. He shared _honors wth Cook n sendng off forward passes. Lawlor had a runnng pass to Collett whch was one of Trnty's most relable plays. Hudson was pcked by_nearly all the New England and New York crtcs as. the best full-back n the East, and most.of the all-eastern selectons show hs name on ther frst team. Hs greatestvalue lay n hs wonderful' lne plungng ' where hs tremendous strength and great speed made hm perhaps the hardest man n the country to down wthout a gan. He was' gven splendd. nterference by hs team mates, pcked hs holes quckly, went through them lke a flash of lght and was never stopp~d by less than two men. He was a splendd man on the defense. He was fghtng hard every mnute and had the ablty of meetng an opposng play -as soon as t ht the lne thus addng hs - -~trength to that of hs own lnesmen. J. A. Moore was not so sensatonal as hs brother, but hs work was wthout doubt as valuable. He was very clever at spolng forward passes and recovered several of these for Trnty. He wth ~ hs brother and Bleecker made three. fast aggressve center men. - Knney was one of the two freshmen to make the team, and was ndeed a valuable man. He was remarkably fast for a man of hs weght and followed - the ball every mnute. He was perhaps. the strongest lneman on the defense.and on the offense he receved several forward passes at very crtcal tmes..also he dd the goal kckng; and n two - games hs place kcks fgured n the... scorng. D. Howell was the other freshman to make the team. H e was handcapped by lack of experence, but he used hs. head and learned rapdly. By the end of the- season he was playng lke a veteran, and gves promse of next year.beng a most valuable man. Ftzpatrck held a poston at guard untl he was njured n the Wesleyan game and lad off for the rest of the season. A weak knee handcaps ths star player, but_ he could surely prove one of the stars of the team except for ths dffculty. Dunsford played the frst game at _tackle and showed up very well, but was kept out of the game by llness for the rest of the eason.. Trnty.as.u sual used few J!Ubsttutes n any of her ganes, b-qt t)ose who were lucky enough to play n regular contests were Gldersleeve, Leland, Smth, Wessells and Hll. Of these Gldersleeve s a senor, but the other men all stand a fne cqance of makng next year's 'varsty. There. are also a number of other good substtutes avalable, so even. among the men now n college there s a mass of -materal at hand to make up next year's 'varsty. One New York paper n speakng of the use of the onsde kck remarks "The onsde kck has not yet been, perfected by any of the bg elevens. ' beleve that Trnty has come closer to the 'real.soluton than any other -team on! the feld." Another crtc. from that ; cty says, "Trnty has turned out one. of ts customary good teams, strong n. the kckng department, and profcent wth the loose ball." Trnty combned wth her kckng and passng game a swft runnng attack whch was very hard to stop. Wth ' three backs and two ends who were al fast and clever at end runs Trnty could drect a very versatle attack aganst the wngs of her opponents. Combned wth ths was a lne plungng, fullback, who had ablty enough to wn a place on the all-eastern team of most! crtcs. ' The offensve power of the team probably showed to best advantage n the Amherst, Colgate and M, A. C. games. n these games Trnty's attack swept the other teams off ther feet and. the scores n all of these cases should have been larger. n the Brown and Wesleyan games the attack was also good, but here t has met wth stronger, opposton. The backfeld won favorable comment from all quarters. After the Brown game the Provdence Journal sad, "Trnty came here wth a.do-or-de sprt and wth the best eleven whch has represented the Hartford college n some years. They brought a set of backfeld players whose superors have not been seen on Andrews feld ths year. Hudson, Lawlor, and Collett were hard men to stop and the secondary defense of the hll men deserves partcular c_redt for the fact that after the somewhat fluky touchdown scored by, Collett at the start, Trnty dd not score". Robnson, Brown's coach sad after ths game, "The Trnty te~m s the best whch has played on Andrews feld n several years. Hudson s the best fullback Brown has encountered ths year, not even exceptng those who played for Yale and Harvard." Whle Trnty's attack was undoubtedly the most spectacular feature of her. play, we must not overlook her defense. Her lne was lght, but nether Brown Amherst, Wesleyan, nor N. Y. -U. could' gan through t wth any consstency whatsoever. n fact, Trnty dd not meet a sngle team whc~ could open any dangerous holes n her lne. The secondary defense backed up the lnemen n great style, generally managed to break up forward passes (although n ths department the team was decdedly weaker than last year's), and ran back punts for good gans. Perhaps no Trnty team has ever won such wde and favorable newsp~per comment as the present one. Every Sunday the team fgured promnently n the New York, Boston and other papers, and some of her games -were recounted n many papers of_ the \ Contnued on pape 4') -..!

4 South and West. Hudson was almost the unanmous choce of the crtcs for the All-Eastern, and Cook, Bleecker, Ahern and Collett were also mentoned for ths team. Trnty was ranked nnth among the teams of the country by most crtcs, placng them ahead of such teams as Brown, Gornell, Pennsylvana and Syracuse. Of course the great secret of Trnty's success, asde from the fact that she had the players to start wth, s to be found n her coach. To Prof. Gettell more than to any other man s due Trnty's football fame. t s he who has developed our pecular system of attack and defense, and he has taken what was almost a green team, perfected them n ths system, and sent them through a har! season wthout a sngle defeat. The fact that the team went nto the Brown game, the last of the season, n better shape and wth more sprt than n any other game, speaks well for hs system of tranng. Perhaps the best feature of the past season s ts portent of the one to come next year. Ths s best expressed n the words of Professor Gettell " regard ths season merely as a prelmnary to the one to come next year. Ths year we started wth practcally a new team. t was powerful, tremendously powerful; but t was very crude. can best compare t t o a bg country boy, who s just begnnng to dscover hs strength, but who as yet cannot use t to ts full advantage. Next year we wll start n wth our backfeld ntact and a fne nucleus of lne men. Then we wll develop a smooth-runnng, fnshed machne, whch should wn every game on ts schedule." A very bref summary of the season s gven here On October 7 Worcester was defeated at Hartford by a score of 6 to. Worcester was unusually strong and Trnty's play was very ragged. The team was also handcapped by the nexperence of Smth, a freshman, at quarter. The followng Saturday Amherst came to Hartford. Cook was back n the game and the ragged play of the prevous week had been somewhat smoothed out. The result was a vctory for Trnty by a score of 3 to. Ths was one of Trnty's best games. The team journeyed to Colgate on October 2, and on a muddy feld defeated that team 9 to. The offense was splendd n ths game and the only thngs whch kept the score down were Trnty's unfortunate fumbles. The next week at Hartford Wesleyan was defeated for the ffth successve tme. Ths was the famous 4 to 3 game n whch Trnty wth defeat starng her n the face scored ponts n sx mnutes makng the last touchdown from her own 25-yard.lne n less than 9 seconds. On electon day Trnty played New.York Unversty a te game to n New York. Ths game was a dstnct dsappontment to all of Trnty's followers. The Hartford mm had decdedly the better team and should have won the game wthout dffculty. However, the team took a slump on ths occason and a te was the result. Massachusetts Agges were the next vctms. The team redeemed ts work of the precedng game by runnng up a score of 35 to 6. Trnty n ths game completed forward passes for a total of 255 yards. The Haverford game at Haverford THE TRNTY TRPOD. was easy. The feld was wet, so Trnty employed a kckng game whch was very successful. Score Trnty 24, Haverford 6. Trnty closed the season at Provdence, when Brown was ted 6 to 6. Trnty scored n the frst ten seconds of play when Collett performed the unusual feat of makng a touchdown by recoverng hs own kck-off on the frst bound when t slpped through the arms of the Brown half-back. Brown scored soon after on a long run by Spracklng. After ths the two teams played very evenly and nether sde was able to score agan. Statstcs of Team Poston Wgt. Name C. Howell (capt.) RE 7 D.
