...Freshman Eleven had a lively practice game with the 'Varsity yesterday afternoon. Their playing has shown rapid improvement during the last two weeks. What they lack most at present is harmony in their rush line and a systematic defense. Their tackling and kicking was a very agreeable surprise to their many friends who were watching the play. In the early part of the game they scored two goals, both kicked from the field...
...winning by a half-length over IV. IV. finished, however, only a quarter-length ahead of I., and I. coming in a full length ahead of II. No time was taken.

EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : Since the Advocate has set the fashion to grumble at Memorial's deficiencies, allow me to call to your notice the lack of attention bestowed upon those who are sick. A friend, since the beginning of this term, was confined to his room by one of those childish diseases which do not impair the patient's appetite. Our friend did not grumble very much when his meals were brought from Memorial several hours late or stone cold, but he did decidedly object to going without them, which was often the case. The waiter, when remonstrated with, replied...
