...songs were rehearsed, and the following three now ones were tried: "No Hope for Yale," The Spirit of Harvard," and "Cambridge Town." Of these, "No Hope for Yale," was the most successful. "The Spirit of Harvard" went fairly well, but "Cambridge Town" did not receive a fair trial due to the fact that it was not properly orchestrated...
...upon whom the duty of planning smokers, mass meetings, lectures and other gatherings devolves are often greatly handicapped by not knowing of something equally important which will conflict with their arrangements. This is not due merely to the lateness of decision, for many important affairs are scheduled weeks ahead; it is due rather to the impossibility of consulting every other man who might possibly intend to hold a meeting on the same date. This applies principally to occasions which draw large numbers, but the difficulty is equally great for men who are in charge of small functions, such as Freshman...
...first division was started at 3.35, just 20 minutes late. This was due to the difficulty with which several of the crews took their positions. At the start, Claverly did not hear the pistol, and Randolph gained an advantage of about half a length.

Harvard showed some improvement in the second half when all the scoring was done, but even that it was mediocre football...
...slow in sizing up the opponent's plays. Starr made several sensational tackles in the backfield, but in other ways was not up to the usual standard. Apollonio did well and his line bucking was a future. Much of the credit for Apollonio's gains through the line is due to Rand, however, who pulled him along on every play till the ball was actually downed. He followed the ball closely, was all over the field, and played a hard, fast game. However, he was the only redeeming feature of the backfield. Butt and Gilbert fumbled constantly...
