...yard line had been reached when suddenly Mills broke through a hole opened by Wright and made his long run to the 5 yard line where he was tackled by Shannon. West Point fought very stubbornly but in three plays the ball was carried over by Jones. A very difficult goal was kicked by Barnard. Later in the half West Point advanced to Harvard's 20 yard line and attempted a field-goal, but the ball was blocked by Meier and secured for Harvard on the 33 yard line. Harvard then advanced straight down the field and, principally by means...
...those of the class in whom there is promise of University debating material no word of appeal should be necessary. Every year it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain Harvard's reputation in debating. During past years superior debating methods, supplementing the efficient and enthusiastic work of the debaters, has aided materially in securing an almost unbroken line of victories over Yale and Princeton. But other colleges are coming to adopt methods which have hitherto been used solely by Harvard, and, as was shown last year, it is becoming harder and harder to win. If the University is to hold...

The backs certainly did not start quickly nor show any noticeable signs of improvement, but the line played much lower, and though on the offense it failed to open holes for the backs, it showed better defensive work than hitherto...
...slow way in which he gave his signals kept the team from warming to its work, and at a critical moment consumed time that could have been used in making a touchdown. Jones was weak at end, and allowed several long runs to pass him. It would be difficult to characterized Hovey's playing at guard. At any rate, he was put out of nearly every play by a much lighter man and was really a handicap to his own team. Barnard, on the contrary, did some very effective work and frequently broke through and tackled for a loss. Meier...

It is difficult to observe our religion on the surface, because we are quiet; perhaps we are too reserved. Our religion is that of character rather than creed. Chapel services here have long ceased to be a thing of compulsion, they are a privilege. Those of us who desire, meet simply in Appleton Chapel for fifteen minutes every morning, to ask a word of consecration on the day's work...
