...first dinner of the new Western Club will be held next Thursday evening. A blue book has been placed at Leavitt's, and all who intend to go to the dinner should sign at once. The committee must know by Monday night how many men will attend.

The men here at college who have followed Harvard's play throughout the season know well its strength and weaknesses. At the beginning of the year Harvard had before her the task of developing three centre men and all the left side of the line and of finding a quarter-back. Yale had at the left side of her line and the centre, - except the one position of snap-back - veteran men. She had to find-a full-back...
