...Tuesday afternoon, April 21, the Harvard team played the best game of the trip with the Mt. Washington Club. For the first time in years the Mt. Washington team had to exert its utmost strength to defeat the University. Mt. Washington scored first in the middle of the first half, but Cobb tied the score a few moments later. The opponents scored two more points towards the end of the half, which ended with the score of 3 to 1 in Mt. Washington's favor. In the second half, Harvard succeeded in keeping the ball in its opponents' territory...

From his recent trip to Washington, he said that no candidates are mentioned there, and that there are only two parties, drawn on sharp party lines: the administrative, who are for Taft, and the reactionary allies who are for no particular candidate but for the defeat of Taft. In New England the reactionaries are endeavoring to defeat Taft by having the delegates go to Chicago uninstructed, and the only way to combat them is for the people to vote at the caucuses, which are to be held on March 31, for the delegates pledged to vote...
