...strong implication that the season's work is worthy of reward only if the team beats Yale and that a dinner will be given to the team only under those conditions. Criticism is sometimes made of the coaching policy of a team in sacrificing anything during the season to gain victory in the final game and claiming the season to be successful or unsuccessful according to the last contest with no regard for the rest of the season. This seems to be the attitude assumed by the Boston Club. Whether the men win or lose they will have the distinction...
...Crocker, who ran the ball back twenty-five yards to the 35-yard line. Minot made two yards at centre, and Gilbert punted to Galatti, who was downed in the middle of the field. Jowett and Long netted seven yards on two tackle plays. Ver Wiebe failed to gain. Galatti's onside kick was recovered by Withington on the 25-yard line, and after a few line plays the ball was carried across the second's line for a touchdown. During the rest of the scrimmage the ball changed hands frequently, staying in the middle of the field...

...report of the Co-operative Society published on another page shows an admirable balance for the past year. An increase in total sales of $23,500 over the figures of the preceding year, which amounts to a gain of slightly more than 11 per cent., is a remarkable showing in consideration of the general dullness which prevailed in business circles during the greater part of the fiscal year. The society's prosperity has made possible the declaration of an 8 per cent. dividend in which almost $15,000 will be distributed to the members, a considerably larger amount than...
Today's football game with Annapolis presents the first real opportunity of the year to gain a critical estimate of just what can be expected from this year's team. The games thus far, although one or two have been fairly close and only won by small scores, are of meagre value in estimating the real power of attack and defense. No amount of scrimmaging against a weak line will bring out a team's possibilities. From all accounts the Navy is a strong opponent for this stage of the season, with an aggressive line and quite a variety...
