...CRIMSON is convinced that the discussion that has raged off and on for the past four months is doing Harvard a great deal of harm, and we favor any move that is going to help the Athletic Committee to come to a decision that will be satisfactory and absolutely final. If the new committee can perform this service, the delay in deciding the present issue may have been worth while...
...defeat the University. Mt. Washington scored first in the middle of the first half, but Cobb tied the score a few moments later. The opponents scored two more points towards the end of the half, which ended with the score of 3 to 1 in Mt. Washington's favor.

...wise altered. We have no faith in the necessity for curtailment or restriction of any kind, not to mention an absolute and unqualified abolishing of intercollegiate contests in all the winter sports. Throughout the year we have taken up in detail the many and varied arguments in favor of intercollegiate sport: its power in holding the undergraduate community together, its good effects upon the participants both morally and physically, its power as an outlet for the energy that in any event would not be expended on studies, its supplement intercollegiate athletics, and lastly the rising undergraduate sentiment against the abuse...
