...Harvard Opera Association has completed very satisfactory arrangements for the coming season. In the matter of finances, a gift of $500 has just been received, and the treasury is on a firm basis. The Association has also acquired the use of 4 additional seats in the orchestra. The membership is now over 1000; those who still wish to join, however, may do so at Amee...
...touchdown was scored against the seconds, and the Freshmen, meeting the University for the first time this season, were defeated by a margin of one dropkick and one touchdown. The impossibility of gaining a firm footing on the soggy turf was undoubtedly the cause of the small amount of scoring.

The Yale track has recently been recoated with cinders and has been otherwise improved, and although not yet firm enough, is much better than in former years. As a result the performances were excellent. The dual records in the half-mile and mile runs and in the hammer-throw were broken, and in the quarter mile and high hurdles the old marks were equalled. The meet was most remarkable, however...
