There was almost no fumbling yesterday, and the playing was much cleaner all around. Campbell and Hallowell showed great improvement, especially in their work under punts. The backs also were steadier in their defensive work...
...astronomy and all the space necessary for this exhibition will be granted. It will consist of reports from the Cambridge, Arequipa and Blue Hill observatories. Among the collection of photographs of heavenly bodies will be the stellar charts and photographs of stellar spectra produced with the aid of the great photographic telescope now in South America, the gift of Miss C. W. Bruce of New York. There also will be an exhibit of glass photography illuminated by electricity. The part that Harvard will play in astronomy at the exposition is made doubly important by the probable meeting in Paris next...

In kicking, Dartmouth would have proved equal to Yale if it had not been for poor passing by Rogers. As it was, Yale showed great superiority and development in the kicking game. The Yale backs were a little slow in starting, due in part to Fincke's hesitancy in giving the signals. Yale scored after eight minutes of play by sharp rushes following a fumble by Dartmouth. The second touchdown was made by Stillman after...
