...Harvard Club of Boston gave a dinner last evening at the Hotel Somerset in honor of the University crew of 1909, to which the Freshman eight and four, and the Gentlemen's eight were also invited. About 350 members of the club were present. At the raised table were seated Major Henry Lee Higginson '55, president of the club, William Stickney Hall '09, toastmaster, James Freeman Curtiss '99, and Justice William Caleb Loring '72. At the left were seated the University eight and four, and, opposite on the right, the Freshman eight and four. Directly in front of the speakers...
...Hall then introduced Justice Loring. He spoke at some length on the advantage of rowing, saying that it makes a man exert himself beyond the point of which he at first never believed himself capable. Mr. Curtiss then gave a very witty account of the condition of rowing in his day. He finished by announcing that on next Wednesday at 3.30 o'clock as many alumni as possible will assemble in front of Claverly to march with a brass band of 60 pieces to Soldiers Field to see the last open practice before the Yale game. Mr. Hall, in behalf...
Before showing the stereopticon views, Mr. Castle gave an outline of the origin, religion, and government of the inhabitants previous to the discovery of the island by Captain Cook in 1775. Their origin is doubtful, but they probably came to Hawaii about 1000 years ago from the other islands of the Southern Pacific. In religion they were heathens, worshiping many minor gods and one supreme deity, until the coming of missionaries in the early part of the nineteenth century. Up to 1750, each island was a separate monarchy, but in that year one king succeeded in conquering the others...
...second half, 1911 kicked off to 1912, for whom French, in two line bucks, gained 15 yards. A fumble gave the Juniors the ball in mid-field, but, after some good line plunging, they were forced to kick. The 1912 team blocked the kick and recovered the ball on the Juniors' 45-yard line. A forward pass was tried again unsuccessfully and Heath and Foster again gained well on their skin-tackle and line-bucking plays. When at last they were held for downs on 1912's 40-yard line, they stole the ball on the next play...
...final games have been sources of much annoyance and complaint. The first and most serious error of which we have heard was the printing on the Yale game application blanks of Wednesday, November 3, as the final date for the acceptance of applications, while the circular of instructions gave the date as Friday, November 5. Many persons who accepted the latter as the correct date found difficulty in having their applications received after Wednesday. Now it appears that a considerable number of reserved seat tickets were sold for the Cornell game for which no seats existed, and the unfortunate purchasers...
