EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON-I hope it is not too late to make a suggestion through your columns, in regard to the uniform of the drum corps. In the first place I think that whatever the uniform is, the prevailing color should be red, or crimson, the college color, rather than blue. It has always been the aim of the Harvard men in the torch light processions to make their dress as odd and striking as possible ; the class uniforms this year are no exception to this rule. Now a zouave uniform (the uniform which has been proposed for the drum...
...make these suggestions with a great deal of hesitation, and were it not that I known that I voice the sentiments of others besides myself, I should keep silent. I hope that the members of the drum corps will be allowed to state their preferences...

In the Yale-Princeton game of last Year, Moffat would not have been able to do much of his phenomenal kicking if he had required so much time. Bemis, as quarterback, does not "discombobulate" the other side when they have the down quite as much as he might-se Twombly's play of last year...
