...rather early in the season to estimate accurately the strength of the foot ball team, yet the work Saturday calls for some comment. The most marked faults were a general lack of snap and a looseness of playing at critical points. Stevens started off with such a rush that Harvard seemed dazed for at least five minutes and could not get possession of the ball. Several times the ball was lost by pure carelessness; in two instances it was deliberately taken from Harvard players while running. The men tackled and blocked well, and the individual work was good. With...

...communications deserve especial attention, as they throw some light on Harvard athletics. The first maintains that "we are not inferior to Yale in athletics," but that study receives more attention here than at our rival college, and that therefore "the real cause of our lack of superiority in athletics (not our inferiority) is the greater earnestness and higher kind of work done here." The second takes a different ground and attributes our ill success to our social system. It argues that the athletics of the freshman class have their interests turned aside by their election to a sophomore society, "which...
