...reasons given by most men for not joining were, as last year, largely financial. In some cases it was found that the men had more pressing needs for their money; but as a rule it was due to carelessness or to the immediate inconvenience of paying the necessary $10, and not to any lack of intention...
...rule the department outside of Cambridge have had very few active members. This is in large part due to the privilege granted them by the constitution of becoming associate members. However, according to the constitution, these departments have to be represented by two members on the House Committee and three on the Membership Committee. This representation is far out of proportion to the membership of those departments, and during the past few years it has been difficult to find even a sufficient number of nominees for the committees.

During the first half neither side had the advantage, and it was due to the brilliant work of the Haverford forwards rather than to any weakness in the Harvard defense that Morris finally scored at the end of the second half. Harvard exhibited good team play and throughout the game kept the ball well under control. The individual playing of the members of the Haverford team was faster and more consistent, and their greater experience made up for their...
