...Princeton at 3.31 P. M. Harvard had won the toss and choose the west end of the field with the sun in their backs. The Princeton men passed the ball instead of kicking, and made a rush which was soon stopped and the ball lost by a bad pass. Harvard in turn gained considerable ground by rushing, and kicking, for when Moffat kicked Willard made fine catches, and when he returned it, the Princeton backs would try to run and would be tackled promptly by the Harvard rushes. The ball was thus on Princeton ground, when Lamar got the ball...
...next kick-off by Harvard the great Moffat muffed the ball and Gilman pounced upon it. Notwithstanding a bad kick by Kimball the ball was kept well down at the Princeion end for some length of time. Here, the second casualty occurred. Baker, one of the Princeton half-backs was injured in the leg and compelled to retire in favor of Toler. Moffat and Willard then had one of their kicking matches without appreciable result. Princeton, unable to gain in this way, resorted to their superior passing and rushing and made much headway. Harvard was careless and tackled poorly again...
...foreign travel," says the writer, "constantly stimulated as it is by improved means of communication, involves the grestest danger to the nation-moral as well as political. No less than $40,000,000 to $60,000,000 are annually thus lost to Germany, and, as if this were not bad enough, our railways don't pay, while innumerable hotels become bankrupt, and the enormous sums invested in these enterprises are absolutely lost. The loss in patriotism, character, contentment, and domestic happiness is even greater. The more we enrich our neighbors by our folly, the more we increase their power...
...total of five games. Harvard has not stood so low in foot ball since the students here first gained a complete familiarity with the Rugby game. This is certainly an apparently dismal outlook; but we do hope that every effort will be made to offset the bad effect of these defeats by victories in the future. As for the game on Saturday, we prefer not to make any editorial comment on it until all the aspects of the case have been looked into...
...Dining Association has on the whole been a decided success this year. There have been occasional causes for complaint, such as the streak of bad butter two or three weeks since, the over-flavored ice cream a few days ago and others, doubtless, that did not affect the whole hall. Only constant vigilance on the part of the directors, and a willingness to learn from such mistakes on the part of the steward, can prevent these mishaps. Accidents will happen in the best-regulated families, whether they number 8 or 800. The students do not realize what a big thing...
