...Like Cyrano de Bergerac, the writer may be said to "set forth to capture a star and then to stop to pick a flower of rhetoric." In style and treatment, "Conclusions" is good and clever. But it has the tone of the over-done, and throughout it there is constant striving for effect. "The Point of View," by J. G. Cole sC., is a pleasant sketch of a not very ingenious sort. The plot is conventional and the characters are common place. The writer shows an extensive acquaintance with Boston "taverns," and some slight knowledge of girls...
Daly's work in the back-field was good and perhaps the best part of his game. The Yale team showed so much unexpected strength that his plan of attack required complete and constant changes some of which were open to slight criticism. Sawin was decidedly the best halfback in the game. He played in perfect accord with Daly, and clipped many yards off of McBride's punts by his clever, dodging runs. He made the longest gain of the day by a 33 yard run around Gibson in the first half. The end plays and double passes around...

To give the ends practice in playing under the punts, Dibblee caught and rushed the punts back himself. Two short halves were played of twelve and eight minutes respectively, one touchdown being scored by the first eleven in each half...
...visiting team to the discretion of those managing the debates at each college. The banquets have never been successful since they are necessarily held at a very late hour. The judges are tired, and the defeated team is in no mood for enjoyment, while the winners are under constant restraint to keep their satisfaction from adding to the discomfiture of their opponents. The new arrangement bids fair to be both more graceful and more satisfactory to everybody. Another important change is in the order of rebuttal speeches. During the coming year the affirmative instead of the negative will make...
...Eaton, Swain, Lawrence, Merriman, Peyton, Lewis and Blagden to choose from, there is now little doubt but that the tackle positions will be well filled this year. Burnett is now able to play on the team and will probably, with Donald, be given a chance today. None of the constant changes in the back-field are permanent, or even significant. Gierasch has recovered from his slight injury, and Reid will play in the Brown game on Saturday...
