...hand it was certainly all that one conld wish. But Brown's tackling was strikingly deficient. She had no knowledge of how to break up mass plays or to force a way into the interference, consequently the Harvard backs did brilliant work. For this they deserve all the credit that is given them, but their performances should not be taken as a criterion of what is to happen in the Yale game. Neither should the students draw the conclusion that the eleven is treading on the downward way if, when they line up against a stronger team than Brown...
...Fairchild's playing was his interference; his passing was often at fault, both in speed and accuracy. In the line, Lewis was a host in himself. His cool, steady work was all that could be desired. Acton and Mackie interferred unusually well and both filled their places with great credit. The same can be said of Manahan and Emmons. Connor and Beal were less effieient than the others and Stevenson at times was also outplayed...

His slowness then was almost inexcusable. There was also an occasional fumble and misunderstanding of signals which reflected little credit on Harvard's work. On the whole, however, the game contained much that was very encouraging...
...connection with music, the Symphony Concerts are not alone in being unappreciated by the students. The chapel choir does not get nearly the credit due it. This may be because the students are not aware of the tortures from which, in its present form, the choir saves them. Those who know of the singing in other college choirs must feel how much better the music is here than elsewhere. Indeed, so far as we are aware, no non-sectarian college in the country except Harvard has adopted the boy-choir system. It is common in England and is there carried...
Everybody will be glad to hear of the final settlement of the arrangements for the Harvard-Yale game. The conference yesterday was peaceable and harmonious throughout and reflects credit on the good sense of those who had the matter in charge. As everyone expected who was familiar with the articles of agreement between the universities, there was very little discussion about the undergraduate rule. It has been perfectly clear from the beginning of the trouble over the rule that Yale had a perfect right, if she so wished, to limit her teams to undergraduate players, and that Harvard...
