Still, man for man, the work of the Harvard eleven might be compared favorably with that of Pennsylvania. Between the teams, however, there could be no comparison-Harvard played with eleven men, Pennsylvania with an eleven. But for the individual work of Dibblee, Garrison and Parker, Harvard could never have scored; while in every score made by Pennsylvania it can justly be said that every man had a part. Harvard's slow, careless playing was taken advantage of by Pennsylvania many times...
This afternoon, Harvard will play her last game of the season against Pennsylvania. From a comparison of scores, indications certainly point to Pennsylvania as the stronger team. However, there is one important factor to be considered before making a too hasty judgment as to the comparative strength of the two elevens-their process of development. Pennsylvania's policy this season has been to bring the team to its highest degree of perfection at the earliest possible date, a fact which has figured prominently in the rolling up of large scores at the beginning of the season, while Harvard's policy...
...played but one regular game this season, it is difficult to make a trustworthy comparison between it and the Freshman eleven. Though the practice games against the substitutes were at first very loose and the interference slow and ragged, the team work has improved very much of late. The eleven has been greatly weakened by the loss of the ends, Beardsell and Clarke, who will be unable to play on account of injuries received in practice, and the loss of Gray and Livermore who are playing with the second 'Varsity. For a class eleven, the line is very light...
...representatives reminds us forcibly that this year it is of the utmost importance for the University to assert her old supremacy in debating. It is hard to admit, but granted it must be, that for the past two years Harvard has made but little progress in debate in comparison with her rivals. It may be that we reached a climax beyond which it is difficult to go, several years since, and that the other colleges, where debating was slow in gaining a foothold, have been gaining ground faster, but this is difficult to believe. At all events, if there...
...very practical reason for this success is obvious. The building offers so many conveniences, that the students as a body frequent it for attractions which they can not find elsewhere. The University Club at Yale on the other hand, is not so well fitted up, and is, in comparison, less popular. It is clear, therefore, that the Harvard Club should be supplied with everything which can minister to the comfort of its members. An extra effort must be made to provide a sufficient sum for the maintenance of a thoroughly well equipped building. Half way measures in this case...
