...demonstrations are offensive to the vast majority of those present, for most men like to have their meals in quiet. If in the Communication printed in another column, the responsibility is justly attributed to the Freshmen, the sooner they learn that blatant noise is not admired at Harvard, the better it will be for them and for the University. If it is upperclassmen who misbehave, all that can be said is that they are old enough to know that such disturbances are useless, destructive, undignified and offensive...
...deciding game of the scrub lacrosse series will be played between the "Chocolate Soldiers" and the "Fortune Hunters" on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

...Freshman football team defeated Worcester Academy at Worcester Saturday by the score of 17 and 0. This is the first victory that a Freshman team has won from Worcester Academy in six years. The Harvard team was much the heavier and faster, and followed the ball better all through the game. Whitney and Calran played the best game for Worcester, the former, especially, doing well on the defensive. Whitney also got away some long punts. Chatfield did excellent work for the Freshmen. He ran 60 yards through a broken field on a kick-off to Worcester's 30-yard line...
