...that the University eight is of strong calibre. The latest time trial was very satisfactory and the men seem to be working together better. With the final eight picked, and another week for Coach Wray to round the crew into perfect form, Harvard's chances of victory seem very bright. Our only wish is that Captain Bacon's men will have to further setbacks due to sickness. With the crew in its best condition, we are confident that the final and most important race of the year will be a success from a Harvard standpoint...
...game on Saturday the team showed itself capable of winning an uphill fight, and proved itself deserving of the University's confidence. With such bright prospects for a victory over Yale, the players need only to be impressed with the feeling that the whole University is behind them. We hope that this appeal will be unnecessary, and that the mere announcement of the mass meeting will be sufficient to bring everyone out, for forced and reluctant cheering will never inspire a team to play the best it knows how.

If Harvard men, graduates as well as undergraduates, would interest themselves, someone would produce words appropriate not only for these occasions, but for all others as well...
...score is bright and full of life and the music especially good. H. L. Murphy '08, as Stungin Stocks, and R. D. Murphy, in the part of Frances Parks, a rich young lady in love with James Percival Brown, a Harvard graduate, have the principal musical scores and give their songs with more than ordinary brilliancy. R. V. Arnold '08, who, accompanied by the Pony Ballet, did some dances, made a decided impression. F. W. Taft '07, as Joshua Phineas Brown, was the most amusing character and did his part well...
