...first half, '97 kicked off, and Dibblee punted back to mid-field. Ninety-seven then started in with a rush, and Warren, Weld, and Scannell made short but steady gains, until '99's 30 yard line was reached. Here the ball was dropped, but Garrison got it, and with a clear field, made the first touchdown. Hallowell kicked the goal...

"Harvard has business only in the Back Bay and lifts her skirts away from the contamination of the North End." Had the writer himself ever approached the North End, he would not thus have exposed his ingnorance. In the houses of the poor in this district, Harvard students seek out in person the objects of their charity...
