...have more life and sent their boat well ahead. At the half-mile the first Newell was half a length ahead with the first Weld and second Newell about even. The second Weld was about one-third of a length behind. From this point the Weld crews began to gain and just before the bridge the two first crews were about even, with the second crews a length behind. As they passed under the bridge both Newell crews spurted and gained half a length. At the mile and a half post the first Newell led by one quarter...
...Shakespere's London" in the Fogg Lecture Room last night. The careful arrangement of the pictures was of great assistance in following the route described by Professor Baker. Many of the views shown were admirable examples of the old style of illustrations, and made it possible for one to gain some familiarity with the background of Shakespere's plays as an aid toward appreciating them more fully...
...individual running of Putnam and Kernan won the game for Harvard. They were the only reliable ground-gainers and were used constantly. Stillman was fairly successful in line plunging, but could not gain very much because he had no support from the rest of the team. Fincke was in poor form and was not as steady as usual.

Putnam then got around left end and by fast running took the ball over the line. Lawrence kicked a difficult goal. After the kick-off the play was even for several minutes. Finally Harvard got the ball in mid-field on a short punt. On the next play Kernan circled right end and with Stillman's interference ran thirty-five yards to the twenty yard line...
