...first number of Vol. LXVIII of the Advocate established a standard that succeeding issues will have difficulty in keeping up with. It is to be regretted, however, that the subject matter in many of the articles strays so far from Cambridge. Thus there are, dealing with a different hemisphere: a noble sonnet "Rhine," a sketch, "The Symphony," whose technique leads one to believe its author a virtuoso with his fingers rather than with his pen; and an excellent Irish story told in the author's very human style...
...first eleven are taking only a small share in the regular daily practice. Eaton is still troubled with water on the knee,--the result of an injury in the Williams game. C. Sargent hurt his shoulder slightly yesterday and gave place to Burnett. Swain, who is still far below his old standard, was also taken out, as a result of a sharp blow back of the head. Reid wrenched some muscles in his leg and retired in favor of Sawin. With Burden, Daly and Eaton out of the practice, the coaches are considerably hindered in their attempts at getting...

Between Yale and Harvard probably lies the fight for second place. Harvard will be represented today by a crew in perfect condition for a four mile race. The crew is a light one, and certainly...
...after day, with no show of confidence from your friends on the side lines, Before long you would feel with a good many members of the Harvard nine, that you could play better ball away from home. We do not ask for a continuous howl from the bleachers, far from it. We should merely like to see the fellows shake off, at least while on Soldiers Field, the effects of the "Austere academic influence" we hear so much about, give the nine a good rousing cheer when they play well, no matter who their opponents, and when they are discouraged...
