There can be no doubt that this shows a decided weakening in some department of play, or else the substitutes have developed of late much more rapidly than the first eleven. In either case the events of the past two days have shown that the far-famed Harvard's greatest eleven is not invincible. To the coaches and players this sudden reversal of form has taught its lesson without doubt, disclosing some weakness which has by now been remedied. In spite of this set-back, the CRIMSON looks with confidence for another decided victory this afternoon, believing that from material...
McLaughlin will probably pitch for Harvard, and Murfey or Tommers for Yale. There is some doubt as to whether Philbin will be able to catch for Yale; he has been laid up most of the season with an injured ankle, which was further weakened in the game with Cornell last Saturday. Gardner may have a chance in right field for Harvard, but Chase will probably be first choice for the position...
...advantages that such a tutoring system would possess over the existing one must seem many and obvious. Although, no doubt, there are now some tutors who have a real knowledge of their subject and are conscientious in their work, still the majority are, at best, mediocre.

Among the former class of subjects the individuals treated are frequently...
...speech at the CRIMSON dinner President Lowell said, "I have a contempt for any young man who has not some of the seriousness of maturity about him...." We have not a doubt that the seriousness, and the ideas, too, are here, but they are as a rule cleverly concealed from the vulgar public eye, at least, so far as the College papers are concerned. With so many interesting problems about us, it is a pity that more men will not "come out of their shells" and express their ideas in print...
