...football. Three times of late years we have thought that we had it mastered, and each time Yale has sent us back to Cambridge to study it some more. But we have stuck to the task with a dogged perseverance, and the 15,000 people who saw Harvard defeat Yale at Hampden Park Saturday, must admit that we have now learned the game thoroughly. Harvard met the strongest team Yale ever put in the field, and fairly outplayed it. It was a hard fought game from beginning to end. Nothing more admirable has ever been seen on the football field...

The rowing men themselves find this fall race a source of pleasure; it does not represent a winter of hard work and a defeat can easily be made good in the spring. This year the three upper classes are remarkably well represented for nearly all the men in the boats have had experience in former races, and the crews are so evenly matched in point of strength that it seems impossible for either crew...
