...Frothingham ran 30 yards to Williams's 10-yard line. The Williams defence stiffened and took the ball on downs, even though a forward pass to L. D. Smith was tried.

...handicap track meet held at the Brockton Fair yesterday afternoon, Harvard men secured three first, two second and a third place. G. P.

In closing, Dean Fenn referred to four types of students,--one whose ideals are too high to be agreeable to those with whom he associates; another who feels that his poverty prevents intimate friendship with his fellows; the modesty of a third leads him to a false conceit; the last comes to college expecting to be snubbed and in so doing he creates the very condition which...
