...Greek subject, and ranks in elevation of feeling and purity of style with such masterpieces as Goethe's "Iphigenia" or Sophocles' "Antigone." From the criticism of the New York papers it appears that Mr. Conried's company is this year particularly good, so that we may probably look forward to an artistic treat of high excellence. A large representation of Harvard students at the theatre is greatly to be desired, not only on account of th rare enjoyment which the performance will give to them, but also because Mr. Conried's generosity and unselfish interest in the Germanie Museum...
...With only ten men in the line-up, Columbia was unable to block the clever attack of the University team, and was on the defensive during most of the game. The single goal was scored in the first half after a series of speedy passes by the forwards to A. N. Reggio, who sent the ball into the net. Osborne, the University team's centre forward, played an excellent game, and continually broke up the Columbia attack before it was fairly started. Two 30-minute halves were played...
...first few minutes of play it looked as if the University eleven would score for shortly after the first kick-off Macdonald secured the ball on Yale's 45-yard line after Parker had blocked Veeder's punt. A forward pass to Starr gained 21 yards, and two line bucks by Wendell carried the ball to the 17-yard line. Here Newhall tried a drop kick, but Biglow broke through the line and after blocking the ball downed it on Yale's 44-yard line. Several exchanges of punts followed on one of which Veeder sent the ball over Harvard...
...exception of the last three minutes, the ball was constantly in Yale's territory. Twice Harvard's opponents were set back to their three-yard line on penalties, but each time Yale punted out of danger. Newhall secured the second punt on the 34-yard line, and a forward pass to Orr, and two rushes by Wendell carried the ball to Yale's 22-yard line. Here, however, Lincoln fumbled, Forbes securing the ball. Veeder at once punted and when Newhall fumbled the catch, Forbes downed the ball on Harvard's 47-yard line. After putting in a fresh...
...advantage of the wind in kicking, while this same fact partly accounts for Burr's excellent work in the second half when the conditions were reversed. Harvard gained more ground than Yale in the first half by 10 yards, even including the 18 yards covered by Veeder's forward pass which made the way for Yale's touchdown. In the second half, however, the University eleven attempted to rush the ball but six times, whereas Yale rushed 30 times and covered a much greater distance...
