...participation in healthful exercise for recreation and larger acquaintance. It is worth while considering whether the whole system of athletics should not be changed, either to one completely intra-college, or, as suggested by Mr. R. A. Derby '05, in the "Outlook" for October 5, 1907, to one of fewer outside games and more intra-college competition. Mr. Derby's scheme would leave the Yale game or some important contest, which would still mean with our "American temperament" considerable specialization and exclusion of other interests, and the undesirable newspaper and arena notoriety of players, but it might turn some...
...forward passes were handled better than in the game with Bowdoin last Wednesday, and fewer penalties were inflicted. The features of the game were Lockwood's two long runs, one of 45 yards and the other of 60 yards for a touchdown, and Gilbert's run of 35 yards for a touchdown. As a whole, the team's work was very promising...
...hope to reach the level maintained by Mr. Hagedorn and his associates. The material here presented is by no means bad, but it needs editing. The lay sermon on "College Dilettantism" which opens the number is admirable in tone and content, but could have been made more effective with fewer words; and the editorials are clumsily written. In "Up from the Depths" Mr. David shows that he possesses good material, and as the story stands it gives one a vivid and gruesome picture of a mining accident. But as writing it has many faults. The short jerky sentences which might...
...would not have been created in vain. A centring of thought upon the Constitution and upon propositions for amendment, and their serious consideration, sure to attend and follow the amendment movement, could hardly fail to be productive of great good. Perhaps but few amendments would be proposed, and fewer still would be ratified. But the entire field would be explored; existing powers and limitations would be better understood; wholesome legislation, national and state, would be stimulated; abuses would be more clearly noted; remedies would be more zealously sought and easier found; groundless complaint would measurably subside; useless, impracticable agitation would...
...unusually exciting and well contested game, the University basketball team lost to Wesleyan last night by a score of 15 to 14. On both sides the defense was aggressive and determined. Wesleyan, however, was stronger on the offense and made fewer failures when given opportunities to score. The playing of Captain Burnham was the best of the evening, as he threw two of Harvard's four goals from the floor and prevented his opponent from scoring...
