...influence exerted by each upon athletics is of course an important one to those who are interested in the development of this side of the college.

It seems that location has less influence than enthusiasm and college spirit in keeping these three universities in the lead in athletics. The determination...

...been at this last point that Captain Trafford has had the most trouble. Throughout the season the centre has been inferior to Yale's, and Yale has adopted, throughout the season, a style of play intended to take advantage of Harvard's weakness at centre. Harvard, in her turn, has been generally considered stronger at the tackles and ends than Yale.
