...this theory and until a new regime sets in examinations may be expected. The beginnings of a new regime have set in as a matter of fact, but in a very few institutions, of which Harvard happens to be one. On the other hand, even those most strongly in favor of the examination system might well seek the reason for the ones now afflicting the College. For Freshmen and men taking Freshman courses there is a possible legitimate excuse. For upperclassmen, who have survived the first year or years it is another matter--and a critical matter...
...announcement last night that A.H. French '29, for the past two years one of the University's leading ground gainers and punters, has developed an infection, which will probably preclude any chance of his getting in today's game, has turned the odds in favor of the Westerners. The loss of French means that H.W. Burns '28 will have to carry most of the quarter-back assignment today, while the Crimson punting will devolve on T.F.

Nor were they disappointed, for from start to finish the game was replete with thrills. With the score 6 to 3 in favor of Harvard, and only a few minutes to play, Dartmouth started a march into Harvard territory. A Dartmouth score seemed imminent when Percy Jenkins '24, breaking through on a passer, blocked the toss, and without slowing up caught the ball before it struck the ground and raced to a touchdown...
