...three bases but was caught trying to get home. Babson replaced him at this point, but was in turn replaced by Ernst in the seventh inning. Three bad errors materially assisted in giving Syracuse their other three runs. The fine fielding of the visitors was in sharp contrast to that of Harvard. They made many sensational stops and catches...
...first glance it would appear that the University association football team had a very poor practice season last fall, winning but one of six games played. On the contrary, the season was most successful. In contrast to the usual twenty candidates of former seasons, seventy men reported during the six weeks practice, and more sustained interest was shown in learning the game than ever before. Contests with teams of experienced men enabled the players to learn the true character of the game. The defeats, it should be remembered, were inflicted by such strong teams as the Fall Rivers, the Corinthians...
...novice in the field, ignorant of phraseology and a typo in method. Yet to these beginners is vouchsafed the least assistance, the section men to whom is left the task of giving individual instruction being in general but little more advanced than those whom they instruct.

Thus where it is least needed, the element of personal direction is strong; where most, it is weak. To equalize matters, it would...
...cope with the superiority of the Canadians in stick-work. The Harvard men were as fast on skates as their opponents and played good hockey, but met an almost impregnable defence in Cassels and Moseley.

The team-play of the Harvard forwards was satisfactory except when near the Canadians' goal. Several times, instead of passing...
...seeking peace a subject of derision and contempt among the nations of mankind, would be to abandon the work of upbuilding the United States Navy and to refrain from fortifying the Panama Canal. The conduct of the misguided men who advocate such policies stands in the most striking contrast to work like that of Elihu Root at The Hague last summer, work which represented in the highest sense applied morality because it represented the successful performance of that most difficult feat, the efficient putting into practice in any concrete case of the principles which must obtain if we are ultimately...
