...work of the first team as a whole was poor and only occasional brilliant individual plays were noticeable. Both the passing and the floor work of the men were slow and repeatedly openings were lost by hesitation. Fumbling characterized the work of both teams, the men showing an inability to keep the ball off the floor. There is a tendency also to follow the ball too closely, not spreading out enough to receive passes. In shooting for goals both teams were accurate, which accounted for the large total score...
...number of the Harvard Monthly is of the kind which is pleasant to remember. Whoever has kept files of this only undergraduate publication which pretends to serious literary purpose must have grown aware of how well the volumes hold their own. The pages are not apt to be instantly brilliant; but in many ways they prove to have a quality not quite ephemeral...

His performance was splendidly rendered, and the softer and less brilliant passages were played with delicacy of phrasing and graceful feeling. It was to be regretted that the composition did not permit him to show more than his brilliant technique. The other numbers were: Overture to "Sankuntala," by Goldmark; Symphonic poem, "Vysenrad," by Smetana; and Symphony in D major, No. 2, op, 36 by Beethoven...
