...football victory. Walter Camp is an acknowledged football expert who has developed a system of coaching which has drawn men of athletic ability from all parts of the country. This year Haughton has worsted him. Harvard has suffered lately from a reputation of inefficiency in athletics in everything except baseball.

The University team will be chosen from the men who make the best showing on the class teams and the men left from last year's teams.

The crews have rowed five times a week since October 3, and have been followed by Coach Wray in a single. All the members of last year's victorious eight except Captain Richardson are in the boat this year. R. Cutler, captain of last year's Freshman crew, is the new man. The order has been shifted from that of last year. Waid has been moved from 5 to 7, and Severance from 3 to 5. Faulkner took Severance's place...
