...unusual distinction of leaving something to the Willing imagination of the reader. "Nathaniel," though rather fantastically improbable, is interesting and clever. "Fog and Sunlight," "Old Humphry's Spook" and "Samuel" are all of the bad dream variety and are all of the bad dream variety and are inferior in treatment because their authors had nothing...
...Yale eleven will play Princeton this afternoon on the University Field at Princeton. A comparison of the season's play seems to indicate a slight but definite advantage for Yale in the game. The Yale goal-line has been crossed three times by inferior teams, while Princeton has only allowed one field-goal, but in general defensive work Yale outclasses Princeton.

...rebuttal on both sides was generally clean cut and intelligent, though there were individual instances on both teams of an inclination to miscalculate time and attempt to cover too many points. Princeton secured considerable profitable emphasis by frequent pointed summaries--a respect in which the Harvard team was inferior to those of former years...
