...ball was uniformly excellent. Haughton indeed making longer and more frequent gains than any other player on the Harvard team. Holden's work was most noticeable when the ball was carried by halfback Dayton, and he deserves credit for many of Dayton's runs. Haughton and Dayton bore the brunt of all Harvard's advances though they were well supported by Dibblee and Adams...
...merits, not by their purses. We are glad that some thinking man has called attention to this Junior Promenade at Yale, not because we favor the noising about of stories of college money-spending, but because we feel a sincere regret that Harvard alone has had to bear the brunt of accusations on this score, when she, perhaps less than her sister universities, has deserved such treatment. Harvard life has its abuses; it is simply absurd, however, not to see that abuses are not confined to Harvard life...
...Wiggin, L. S., Highlands '95, and Ames '96, however, are probably the three from whom the pitcher will be drawn. Wiggin and Highlands will not go into training until after the mid-years; Ames is with the candidates and has already shown marked improvement over last year. The brunt of the pitching, however, will fall on the first two mentioned. A few months training under Keefe ought to make both of them much more effective than last spring...
...number opens with "The Columbian Exposition and American civilization" by Henry Van Brunt. The author shows that the influence of the World's Fair will certainly be for the good not only of all the industrial and liberal arts but also of the fine arts.

Mahan is a guarantee of its interest. Other good articles are "The English Question" by J. J. Greenough; "'Tis Sixty Years Since...
...half-back C. Brewer and Arnold both did fine work. The fact that Fennessy strained his neck early in the game threw the brunt of the work on these two men, and they did it well, maintaining their remarkable snap and precision throughout the game. Both tackled well, but each made one miss, of which Brewer's, though by far the most excusable since he never got his hands on his man, was the most costly. Both ran well, too, and Brewer's two sprint of 50 and 38 yards respectively were the longest of the game...
