...defeating Amherst yesterday by a score of 38 to 0, although Amherst by a blocked punt and a succession of vigorous rushes through the centre, missed scoring only through Harvard's making a firm stand on her 5-yard line. Taken all in all, the game was an interesting contest, and in one particular at least, namely in the decided improvement shown by the eleven as a whole during the second half, was illustrative of the effect of quick, snappy play upon an opposing team.

...fall to promote the interest of the Freshman class in track athletics is most deserving of support and the 'Varsity management should do its utmost to further the plan, without fear of wasting time or energy. As before announced, the plan is to divide the Freshmen into squads to contest for their class championship in the Freshman fall games.

At present the only hindrance to the furtherance...
...contest today will be a match race with the B. A. A. for cups and a banner-the same prizes as offered in the race with B. A. A. two weeks ago. Since their defeat then, the Weld crews have shown considerable improvement, and have taken Blake '99 from the College crew into the intermediate boat, where he has been rowing at 6. They have had constant racing practice, as the three crews have been out together every afternoon and have rowed some fast times rows, doing the mile and a half in 7.50 and the mile under five minutes...
