...scheme which has so long been in the air, of forming a University Club similar to those which have proved so successful at other colleges, notably at Pennsylvania. Last year practically nothing was done in the matter. There were two causes for this inaction. One was the hard times, which discouraged any effort to raise a large sum. The other cause had less weight. It was an unaccountable feeling on the part of some of the graduate promoters of the scheme, that the undergraduates did not heartily wish such a club. We are at a loss to explain this feeling...
There were two very close and exciting matches between H. Foster '98, and H. J. Holt '98, and G. M. McConnell 1L, and H. H. Shaw '99. Holt was not playing as well as usual, and was weak in his volleying at the net, but still gave Foster a hard match. McConnell's playing was quite a surprise, and defeated Shaw's rather brilliant and erratic game by superior steadiness...
...squad has not been given any very hard practice as yet. Yesterday a first eleven was formed and different sets of backs ran through signals against the second. The lineup at first was as follows: l. e., Wood; l. t., A. H. Rice, l. g., Richards; c., Stone; r. g., Thayer; r. t., Jordan; r. e., J. C. Rice; q. b., Vincent; l. h. b., Adams; r. h. b., Riggs; f. b., Emmons. Later in the practice these backs were changed, Grilk, Hastings and Flint going in with F. J. Goodridge at quarter...
Daly's squad played the second half, and, although handicapped by darkness, they put up almost as fine a game as the other squad. The line held well and tackled hard, and the quarter-back, C. D. Daly, kicked splendidly. Several times he returned the ball for a good gain when the other team was almost on top of him. The second 'Varsity scored once in this half. The Freshmen failed to score although they had the ball on their opponents five-yard line once. The 1901 line-up in the second half was; W. Lawrence, r. e.; Mackay...
...worth while then to inquire whether this increase in debating enthusiasm outside has been paralleled at Harvard by a like healthy expansion. Are we advancing or standing still? It is hard to give a satisfactory reply to this question. In a small way, perhaps progress is being made, but on the other hand this progress has been painfully slow. As far as the clubs are concerned-and they are the real gauges of undergraduate feeling-there may be a few more individuals engaged, but the work is generally speaking in much the same stage as it was several years...
