Harvard will play Brown on Soldiers Field at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The game will be a close one, as Harvard is by no means in as good form as in the Pennsylvania game. In the first place Captain Daly's injured knee will keep him out of the play, and Kendall, Ellis, Sawin, Hallowell and Campbell have not yet recovered from the effects of the Pennsylvania game. This leaves the eleven with a substitute back-field and substitute ends, which in itself is enough to weaken the team considerably. Besides this the whole team has deteriorated very much...
Dodge, left tackle, is very erratic, but is improving slowly. He fails to keep low after once charging his man, and does not clear his opponent out of the way with regularity. Clapp, left tackle, gets entangled with his opponent constantly, and covers practically no ground at all; he is too easily brushed aside and pocketed if two men are sent against...
...children was formally opened yesterday afternoon in East Cambridge by the Christian Association. It is called the Harvard Free Library and is located at 133 Fifth street. Children between seven and fifteen are allowed to take out books between 3.30 and 5.30 every week day afternoon and to keep them for one week.

Men who have juvenile books of any sort are urged to leave them...
...attempt is being made at the football games this year to keep any record on the scoring board of the length of time to play. The number of downs, which can easily be kept in one's head, and the number of yards to gain, which can usually be ascertained merely by looking at the linesmen, are both kept constantly in view of the spectators; but as regards the time to play, not even the incomplete recording practiced formerly has been attempted. One might argue, and with good reason, that if the time could not be recorded any better than...
Until 1870 the boat houses used were mere sheds, of private ownership. The sheds were unsafe and unsubstantial, since the ice was apt to carry them away in winter, making them dangerous to keep boats in. It was decided that some improvement was necessary and in 1869 the plans for the present boat house were drawn up. The plans called for $7000, about $4000 of which was raised by subscriptions, baseball games, and amateur theatricals. It was completed in 1869. After the house was finished the University Boat Club, which built it, found it impossible to raise the remainder...
