...first regular autumn meeting of the Harvard Club of New York City was held on Saturday evening, Oct. 13, at the club house, 11 West Twenty-second street. Francis O. French, recently elected president, presided. The meeting was terminated by a supper. Several new members were elected, among them H. Clifford Watson, the coach of last year's crew; Francis Peabody, jr.; George R. Agassiz, a son of the naturalist, and Judge Ward McAllister, jr., a son of Ward McAllister of New York...
...back the championship this year? Because, if they have not, it behooves them to bestir themselves. The Princeton men have been at work for some time and have been getting some valuable practice. Why should not we go and do likewise? There is a popular belief at Harvard that autumn practice does no good in athletic sports, except of course in football. This is a great mistake. If the lacrosse management would issue a call for players now they would save some valuable time in the spring which otherwise would be lost in choosing and trying the candidates. It seems...

Prizes will be given at both meetings. The freshman meeting is intended as an opportunity of giving new men a chance to come out, whether they have ever taken part in athletics before or not. Mr. Lathrop will be on Holmes Field every morning from 11-1, and will give all the help he can in both the track and field events...
...practice. It is small use for the college authorities to hang out a sign warning all but Harvard students to keep off Holmes field; let them take active measures. A regularly employed watchman to patrol the yard and the athletic grounds would cost very little during the spring and autumn months in comparison with the benefit which would result to the college. If the college authorities will not keep the college property free from such pests, then the students must take the matter in hand. It is a burning shame that students of such a college as this should...
...Some years ago the President, in his annual report, stated that the standing of the university nine and crew was something above the average of the whole college. I have just seen some unpublished statistics at the dean's office, collected last autumn, showing the standing of the university ball nine, foot ball team and boat crew, with the three chief substitutes for each. Their average for the past year was not below, and probably a little above, the average of the college at large, and the figures show there are both high and low scholars among them. The present...
