Shortly after the start of the next quarter Mahan made an attempt at a field goal from the 20-yard line, following a series of successful line plunges. With the ball in Exeter's possession, a fumble was made but recovered by Perkins for Harvard. Mahan then kicked a goal from the 18-yard line. In the remaining minutes of play the Freshmen brought the ball to Exeter's 10-yard line, but time was called before a score could be made. Score: Harvard 1916, 3; Exeter...
...cover more pages of English A paper than ever this year. However, it is hoped that the Freshmen will not confine all their ideas to the prescribed pad. They can perform a real service to the University and to succeeding classes by co-operating with the Office in its attempt to arrange the new dormitories so as to satisfy all sorts of requirements. As Freshmen will be compelled to live in them, it is essential that the dormitories conform to the desires and requirements of the whole class. We therefore urge the class of 1916 to fill in with care...
...field and had tried several unsuccessful plays to break through the University forwards. Another plunge was called for, but the ball was fumbled. Brickley scooped it up and ran 40 yards to the goal-line, with nobody near him.

...Thayer's "Essay on Man" is a courageous attempt to do a difficult and dangerous thing. For the scope of the paper is almost as wide as the title suggests, and it is hard to write something new about "Man" in two columns and a half. When an essayist begins by saying, "There are men who say the commonplace in a commonplace manner," he sets a great temptation before the reviewer--a temptation which the present reviewer with difficulty resists. When Mr. Thayer next classifies men according to their ways of expressing themselves, he ought to find a place...
Yale defeated West Point Saturday for the first time in three years. The final score was 6 to 0, the only touchdown being made by Philbin in the second period as the culmination of a long series of line rushes. His attempt at a goal from an easy angle, however, went wild. Yale had one other really good opportunity to score in the third quarter as a result of several line plunges and a well-executed forward pass from Spalding to Flynn. But the Army held for three downs and on the fourth recovered a fumble on the one-yard...
