Harvard played a very fine game. Sears especially distinguished himself, kicking well and rushing superbly. Porter did good work, Cumnock played his usual fine game. Crosby and Lee played hard and well. The score made by the team is very creditable since the ground was very wet and slippery, and the men were tired out by Saturday's game and the long journey...
...personal benefit. No argument, of course, is needed to show the selfishness and injustice of such practices, and yet, after the matter has been repeatedly brought to the notice of the students, the abuse continues.

The game began at three o'clock, with the ball in possession of Harvard. The rushers formed a wedge and immediately forced the ball up to the Latin School's ten yard line. On the third down, Brooks ran across and scored the first touchdown. No goal...

The play here began on both sides to be rough. The Princeton rush line were again slowly forcing the ball down to Harvard's line despite all her efforts...
...part of the apparatus which will be carried to Peru is a light portable frame building of one story with a ground area of three hundred square feet, which is to be the observatory of the party; the scarcity of wood and carpenters in Peru makes it prudent to build this here. The class of work which the expedition will undertake comes under the terms of the Boyden bequest. The cost of the work upon the Stella spectra is sustained by the Draper Memorial Fund...
