...Although not Harvard's regular punter, he was called on to do most of the kicking on account of Burr's being slightly overtrained and slow in getting his punts off. Newhall's punts were not as long as Coy's, but the shorter distance enabled the ends to cover them effectively. Macdonald's playing exceeded all expectations. In previous games he had been slow in sizing up the plays of opposing teams, and his tackling had been weak, but on Saturday he was always ready for Yale's fake kick runs, and he tackled hard and surely. Starr also...
...admirably drawn cover-design of the forthcoming Lampoon introduces us to the gigantic optimism of the number-an optimism that is fortunately perennial. The more "he thinks it over, the more Lampy thinks we will win." We often find that the prophecies of the humorist are the true ones, so we have the right this time to believe in him. The two long poems in the paper, the Kipling parodies, are well done, as were the verses in the last number on the graduates who do not get seats. The Lampoon is often the most efficient exponent of undergraduate opinion...
...upon energy which would result from a protracted parade, there is always the danger of attaching undesirable recruits. The rougher element are unable to draw fine distinctions between College demonstrations and others prompted by less praiseworthy motives. They will welcome the opportunity to commit acts of vandalism under the cover of a large crowd, and as usual Harvard will get the credit for their deeds. We may exaggerate this danger, but the possibility of unwelcome disturbances should be sufficient to check any misdirected demonstration...
...entirely and to good advantage, although in a long match it tires him to such an extent that it weakness his game. All his strokes are hard and fast. He is extremely brilliant, but equally erratic. His best position is at the net, and his reach allows him to cover a great deal of court. When he is at the top of his game, he is a hard man to beat, and will rank among the best players of this country...
...Wheelock's contribution to "Varied Outlooks" attempts to cover too large and complicated a field. Hence he seems confused and hurried. But the questions he raises are pertinent and interesting. Is, however, his criticism of our immersion in athletic, club and other college interests--to the "detriment with us, unfortunately of the larger vision"--truly sympathetic and pro-found? The activities and institutions with which he finds fault are, after all, what few marks we have left of a distinctly collegiate way of living, and the culture of them is but a natural devotion to what later cannot be paralleled...
