...Nearly half of the collection consists of the works of classical Greek and Latin authors, mainly in eighteenth century editions of great value. In the Bowie catalogue there were listed 433 books printed before 1500, the work of 160 different printers. This addition more than doubles the former collection of such books, and probably gives the College Library the largest number of these early works of any public library in the country. Next to the classics in numbers come the works of the mediaeval Latin writers. There are also many standard works in French and English, as well as numerous...
...which Harvard completely outplayed its opponents, and from the Brown game on, the improvement in the University team has been constant. The Carlisle Indians were unable to hold it at all, and were scored on three times. Last Saturday Harvard and Dartmouth proved very evenly matched in the first half, but in the second period the team put up its best fight this season and won the game, 6 to 0. In a series of rushes from its own 24-yard line, the University team went down the field and across Dartmouth's line for a touchdown in the last...
...first game of the season, Yale defeated Wesleyan by two touchdowns, scoring both of them in the first half by straight line-rushing. In the second half, many substitutes were put in who could not gain consistently through the Wesleyan line. Against Syracuse, a week later, the team could only score one touchdown.

The offense was still slow in starting, but on the defense, both the line and the backs showed marked improvement. The Army...
...Princeton game, Yale showed the wonderful reserve that won last year, by rolling up two touchdowns in the second half after Princeton had scored early in the game. During the entire first half, Yale was outplayed. The speedy Princeton backs, and especially Tibbott, managed to run around the ends for long gains, from which Princeton's touchdown resulted. The nearest Yale got to the opposing goal was the 13-yard line where an attempted forward pass failed. In the second half, Princeton at first kept the advantage, but as the game went on the team tired and could no longer...
...beginning of the second half the Seniors advanced from their own 15-yard line almost the whole length of the field, losing the ball on an unsuccessful forward pass on the Sophomores' 15-yard line. From this point 1911 worked the ball back to their opponents' 35-yard line, where the ball changed hands on downs. The Seniors later recovered a fumble on the Sophomores' 30-yard line and advanced the ball to the 10-yard line, where the Sophomores got possession of it as the half ended...
