...obvious. During recent years both in Cambridge and away the home team has repeatedly been entirely rattled by the well meant and strenuous endeavors of its own partisans. The bad effect is due to two factors: the first, to the feeling of the players that their partisans are over anxious and dubious of the ability of the players to do what is expected of them; and second, to the incessant noise, which has much the same confusing effect as a boiler shop, or a train in a tunnel, so that at the time when a man should be devoting...
...article on "Harvard Oarsmen," by G. L. Meylan '00, ought surely to allay the fears of those who are anxious about, the mental and physical welfare of our rowing men.

Figaro advises Almaviva to present himself to Bartholo, disguised...
...take advantage of easy chances. The most encouraging feature of the work was the defensive play of the forwards who followed back far better than in any previous game, and made it nearly impossible for the opposing forwards to get started. In this department, Foster was a little over anxious to keep up with the scrimmage. No real test was given the defense, but whenever the backs were called upon, their blocking seemed crude and easily passed. The tendency to play out too far was again in evidence, especially in the case of Clothier, who several times left his territory...
