Middlebury's eleven, outweighed, out-generaled and outplayed, was in no way a match for the University football machine last Saturday. Harvard, with an offense the equal of which has not been seen in the Stadium since pre-war days, paraded down the field for 10 touchdowns, which together with the kicks for the extra point, brought the total to 68.

The best physical specimens then, as now, will become leaders in athletics, just as the best mental specimens will become the greatest scholars. The benefit of the plan will lie in preventing warped development by calling attention to corrective...
Coach Stevens also named two other University crews. Crew X and Y, to be considered on an equal rating. Coach Fred Newell of the 150-pound crew picked a number of lightweight crews, and Coach Bert Haines selected three-eights from his Freshman candidates...
