...Chenoweth and Hardwick made good gains through the Brown line, and Saltonstall's punting was very effective. Hardwick was taken out during the third quarter but was sent in again in the last, in which he intercepted a forward pass and ran 50-yards for the second touchdown. The attempt at goal missed by a few feet. Following this almost all the fresh men were put in but there was no more scoring...
...short, while it is not my purpose in this small space to attempt anything so unnecessary as a defence of the sovereign pontiff of Catholic Christendom. I do wish to insist that an insult to the Catholic faith is an insult to Harvard, and a retrogression to less tolerant times. The editors of the Monthly no doubt acted thoughtlessly, but none the less they made a mistake. They would have seen, had they reflected, that good taste demanded the suppression of a work which might give pain. H. T. CAREY...
...that 51 per cent of the men in the Freshman class here at Harvard this year were prepared at public schools.

We give the figures with the hope that perhaps they will lead to a more general realization...
...Wednesday the forward pass was used at every opportunity and most of them were responsible for touchdowns. Every evening the whole squad meets in the new gymnasium where the coaches give out the new plays to be tried the next day. So far there has been very little attempt to develop one set of eleven men, but Coach Cavanaugh has a list of exceedingly strong second-string men.

...Freshman football squad was given its first scrimmage yesterday afternoon, Team A easily defeating Team B. Team A was given the ball in the centre of the field, and after two gains by Brickley, Bradlee ran 45 yards for a touchdown. No attempt was made to kick the goal. Again Team A was put on the offensive in the middle of the field, and Brickley scored on the fourth play. Team B was then given the ball and showed some offensive ability, but score. The backfield of both teams was strong and fast, while the material for the line though...
