...slate satisfactory to themselves, and regardless of the rest. The members of these three clubs were practically pledged to vote for that slate, so making a solid body larger than any other that could easily be formed. In this way they were able to elect their own candidates, even though they might not have been the choice of the majority...
...have been elected marshals, as against only 12 members of the 'Varsity nine. In other words, a member of the crew or eleven has had more than twice as good a chance as a members of the nine of being a marshal. The disproportion in favor of football is even greater than that, as football has been in vogue less than 25 years. The most cursory glance at the figures will settle once for all whether athletes are honored by their classmates at Harvard...

I suggest that, before we forget the necessity of it, the class presidents appoint a suitable committee to compose...
...Donald. With this nucleus of old players has been built up a Harvard eleven which today stands fully as strong as last year's at this date. The slump did not occur this year unless the reaction succeeding the Pennyslvania game can be called such. The minor teams, even the Indians and Pennsylvania, were powerless against the Harvard eleven...
