...Jarvis Field Saturday after noon. Harvard defeated Stagg's eleven from the Springfield Y. M. C. A., by a score of 34 points to nothing. The day was very mild and the game attracted the largest crowd of the year, the spectators filling almost completely the stands on both sides of the field...
...societies; and in English universities debating is considered of the utmost importance. But here we have rather neglected it, often time sneered at it, and the result has been a steady decadence of the Union. Since its resuscitation five years ago it has been sometimes fairly successful, and sometimes almost a complete failure. It is now under the management of men who are determined to make it a success, and they ask the help of the college in their work. What they want is more men to come to the meetings and take part.

The sophomores now braced up and began steadily to force the ball towards the freshman line. They began to use the wedge and it almost always succeeded. During one of the rushes the ball was fumbled and just as it rolled over the line Beals fell on it and scored. Hoag missed the goal. Score, 4 to 0. Time was soon called with the ball at the 30 yard line...
