...must be admitted that the outcome of the race was most unexpected. Although the Claverly crew had shown itself capable of pulling away from a pursuing crew, and thus avoiding a bump, on both days of the bumping races, Randolph finished at least half a length to the good on both occasions. Mount Auburn Street was a disappointment yesterday, for, although it was fairly well known that the crew was not good for a long distance, it had been expected to take the lead for the first part of the race. As it was, it was beaten by Matthews...
...University eleven was given a 25-minute scrimmage with the Freshmen yesterday afternoon and, although scoring two touchdowns against them, was by no means greatly superior. Punts were exchanged on almost every other play. Burr had the advantage over Cutler, but, nevertheless, was unable to keep the ball within striking distance of the Freshmen's goal. The backfield work of the University eleven was weak and most of Cutler's punts were poorly handled. The Freshman ends got down the field well under every punt and their tackling spoiled all chances of running the ball back for any gain...
...preliminary work the linemen were alternately given offensive and defensive work, which consisted mainly in blocking off and holding for Burr's punts. The defense was weak and, although some excellent individual work was shown, the offense had little difficulty in breaking through. Newhall and Lockwood were in football clothes yesterday, and ran through signals with the team...
...should remember that this is the anniversary of the birth, not the death, of the man who so generously endowed Harvard. Although our knowledge of the man is limited, we cannot but feel that he would prefer the presence of the young men who benefit by his endowment, rather than an atmosphere of sanctity from which heartiness is lacking. The bonfire may offend some, but we see nothing radically objectionable in it, and in the absence of a substitute which could secure equal participation we do not consider it entirely unfitting...
...last Saturday and won only by the small score of 9 to 5. The team was taken completely off its feet in the first half by the skillful way in which Springfield worked the forward pass, using it successfully nine times for a total gain of about 105 yards. Although the ball was chiefly in Springfield's territory, it was due to the fact that Burr out-punted Honhart and to the fumbling of two of Briggs' passes one of which put the ball back to Springfield's 3-yard line. Harvard showed some improvement in the second half when...
