...track in the spring. This something else, I think, should consist in cross-country runs. Dr. Sargent assured me this fall that there was no sport better adapted to prepare men for the mile and possibly the half than the hare and hounds runs. As to the matter of cost, your article is direct, and to the point. It seems hardly conceivable that the H. A. A. should allow itself to go into print stating that there "will probably be no more runs this year." When so many men participate in all the runs, and with the pleasant weather that...
...yesterday would probably be the last of the season, is regretted by a considerable number of men in college. Why should not the association give more runs as long as the interest in this sport continues to hold good? There can be but two possible objections, one the cost, and the second, the weather. Neither of these is sufficient for putting an end to the runs. Take, for instance, the matter of cost. The association is not in a poverty-stricken condition, to put it mildly, and the cost, about $6 a hunt, is less in proportion to the number...
...that evening made memorable by the heroic endurance of 300 Harvard men under a pelting rain of two hour's duration, the brass band never flinched from its duty.

...opinion. But the gentleman seems to imply that there were "flings at the referee" printed in our columns. In regard to this, we wish to say a few words in defence. In Thursday's issue we expressed ourselves to the effect that "unsteadiness, aided by decisions of the referee cost us the game." In this phrase, we do not make any allusions to dishonest refereeing, we merely stale that the decisions of the referee happened to aid the other side. We thoroughly believe that the referee acted fully up to his convictions in regard to any one disputed point; what...
...make anything practical out of this advantageous position, i. e., they were unable to score. Moreover, when the ball approached their own end of the field the play of our team was usually very unsteady, and such unsteadiness, aided in that particular game by decisions of the referee, cost us the game. We must earn to score and in all future practice and all games hereafter particular attention ought to be given by the university eleven to this most important feature of the game. Loosing the ball after it has been carried close up to the opposite goal line...
