...defensive, as the ball neared their goal. Fourteen minutes after the game began Whiting dropped the ball between and beyond the posts, and goal number one was scored for Harvard. The Canadians now had the kick-off, and sent the ball well up to Harvard's end of the field. Wetherbee caught it, and by a beautiful run carried it far beyond the centre of the field. Here he was stopped, but L. Cushing got the ball and was making for their line when he was caught. He threw the ball to Rollins, who succeeded in gaining a touch-down...

And these means are used then not because the offices are of great importance in themselves, or because persons capable of filling them are found with difficulty. The annual squabble arises from the fact that different "interests" insist on being "represented" without regard to any principle of reason or of justice. If the members of the present Senior Class could...
