...first performance of "Le Pedant Joue" was given last night in Brattle Hall. Considerable credit is due H. B. Stanton '00 and his assistants who have taken a crude, old fashioned play, cut it down, and remodelled it into something fit for the modern stage. But more remodelling and curtailing might have further improved the performance. Throughout the first and second acts there was a tedious succession of long monologues and one-sided conversations in which the speakers, as a rule, overacted their parts.

The trouble was, I think, that our "Three long Harvards and three times three" is slow, drawling, and unenthusiastic. It typifies everything which Harvard is not, although fairly representing...
...games already played, they have not shown the strength in line bucking which was expected on account of their weight. McBride has maintained his reputation as a punter and line bucker, and it is largely to his careful coaching and management that the excellent development of the team is due...
