Since the poor showing against Williams last Saturday, the Harvard team has improved slightly, but is still far from first class condition. A large number of the original weaknesses have not yet disappeared, among which are unsteadiness in offensive play and slowness of the ends to get down the field under punts. The defense, also, is erratic. The line halfbacks are getting into their positions for tackling much better than heretofore, but they do not tackle hard enough...
...next speaker. He said that those beginning life here must preserve their own independence, and recognize the right of independence in others. The college man tries to develop all sides of his nature, and at all times he should remember that the best of what he will get at college will be the friendships he may form...
...short line-up between the first and second elevens brought out poor football. The first team backs showed some ability to gain on tackle plays, but, as a rule, were too slow in starting and fumbled frequently. The line failed to open holes and to get into each play with snap and vigor. Neither team did effective work. The line-ups: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Burgess, l.e. r.e., Crocker.

...Cutts, Sargent, Greene, and Lee, there seems to be no one of more than average ability. Wright, however, has had some experience and with King, Hovey, Knowlton, Shea, and O'Connell, should help to form a strong line. Sugden might be a likely man except for his tendency to get hurt, a misfortune which has already put him out of the game for the present. On the whole, the material for the team does not now appear to be anything remarkable, but taking into consideration the improvement which will come between now and the final game, there seems...
...brief, it will be more difficult than at present for a student to obtain an A.B. in four years, and easier for him to get the degree in three years. Between the former requirements for an A.B. in three years and for an A.B. in four years, a compromise has been reached by raising the entire standard of College work and by requiring the same standard for a three as for a four year's course...
