...playing of the University eleven during the first part of the game was much better than during the second half when only six points were added to the score. A sensational start was made when Nichols recovered Schoellkopf's fumble of the kick-off, and threading his way, with the aid of excellent interference, through the entire Brown team, ran 105 yards for a touchdown. Marshall kicked goal. After the next kick-off a series of exchanges of punts ended in a fumble which gave Harvard the ball on Brown's 28-yard line. From here gains by Hurley...
From the fact that in today's game the University eleven will present what seems to be an approximation to its final make-up, it may be expected to make a better showing than it has in the practice of the last two days. On the other hand, it is impossible to expect fast individual play by men who are out of the game half the time, or to expect effective team-work from an eleven which, as a unit, has had little consecutive practice in perfecting itself either on the offensive or defensive. The disorganized practice, caused since...

He said that the work of the 1901 eleven, which ended the season by defeating Yale, 22 to 0, was up to the West Point game no better than that of this year's team in the last two or three games. A successful outcome of the season can be secured this year, as in 1901, by the University standing back of the team through thick and thin. Men who take enough intelligent interest in the team to follow the practice closely will feel some personal satisfaction in a victorious ending of the year...
...poetry in the number, is on the whole, better than the prose. "Sunset," is exceedingly poor; but "Nocturne," has genuine lyrical beauty, and "Demeter," by A. D. Ficke, is musical and delicately fanciful, though it lacks the strong and sure command of suggestive striking similes, which are the marks of poetic imagination as distinguished from that poetic fancy which pleases, but does not stir, and lightly fascinates but does not compellingly more...
