...bouts were four minutes each, and the contestants, in general, were well-matched. The best bout of the evening was that between McLaughlin and Erhard for first place. Erhard successfully parried McLaughlin's thrusts for a time, but did not have a sufficiently varied attack with which to supplement his defense, and the latter won. Cups were awarded the winners by the Fencers' Club. The judges were C. A. Bliss '08, G. L. Cutting '09, and H. W. Holmes...
...most striking article in the number is a spirited rejoinder by the editor to the danger of Germanization and general depravity brought against Harvard College by one of its more recent graduates. Harvard cannot thrive without criticism, but this particular attack is unfortunate in more ways than one. The editor finds Oxfordization as perilous a development both for the College and for the critic in question-and disapproves any scheme which would tend to destroy either college spirit or class spirit. This is true: despite the amazing changes wrought by the reform of the curriculum, Harvard College is embedded...
...finally, as its title indicates, a historical narrative, based, I suppose, upon the traditions of the Maine town of Pemaquid, where the scene is laid.

One or two of the characterizations are somewhat perfunctory, and the language is here and there a little too consciously archaic...
...University eleven last Saturday by the score of 12 to 0. The victory may be credited chiefly to the perfection of the team work which the visiting team possessed. Yale's players as individuals were no better than Harvard's, nor did they play as brilliantly, but her concentrated attack and ability to push the ball over the goal line when once within striking distance, was what brought Yale out of the contest victorious. It was a game in which eleven individuals played hard and well against a more perfectly working, machine-like team, equipped with an offense that...
...main trouble has been in training these men for their positions. In the backfield it has been a problem to get speed enough. Up to the last half of the Princeton game the line had not worked together as well as it should, and the attack had been rather inconsistent. The defensive work has, in the main, been good, although Princeton gained at will during the first half of the game last Saturday. During the latter part of this game, however, the team showed its real strength. The line was able to withstand the hardest kind of attack without weakening...
