Those who have watched the practice of the 'varsity eleven during the past week have recognized without being told that there is a great lack of material for the centre and guards. Today appears a notice from Captain Waters calling for heavy men, whether experienced or not. The need is a serious one. If a man has weight, a sound constitution and an interest in our success in athletics, he will do a sportsmanlike and manly action to offer himself to the 'varsity captain. No matter what his experience has been he will be cordially welcomed. The coachers are willing...
...first event was the 100 yards dash. Owing to the large number of entries this event was run in five heats, the final heat, owing to a lack of good judgment, was declared a tie and was run over again. This time Clark, W. A., and J. S. Clark, E. H. S., were again tied. J. S. Clark, however, refused to run it over, so Clark, W. A., was given first place, J. S. Clark, E. H. S., second, and Bigelow, W. H. S., third, time 10 3-4 seconds...
Jack Highlands and Mason were the battery for Harvard. The work of the former was highly effective. The only signs of weakness and lack of practice were the four bases on balls and a wild pitch.

Two Holy Cross men reached third and second on a wild pitch and two bases on balls. With no men out a score seemed inevitable, but by very clever work he succeeded in striking cut the next...
...been the singing in the yard in the early hours of the evening. The only regret in the past has been that there has not been more of it. This year there has been less than usual. Thoughtlessness or indifference of the few in authority and not the general lack of interest has put the good old custom in the back-ground. The time from half past six to eight is leisure for a large part of the students. It is seldom, if ever, that the yard is more filled than then. It is the one time in the evening...
More than this, the nine certainly does seem to lack head. In the first inning. Murphy was at least thirty-feet from third when Highlands got the ball, and yet he threw to first. That run was a pure gift. Then in the seventh with two men out, and men on third and first, they bunglingly tried to cut the man off at second, and so let in the second run. Coaching Hallowell home in the seventh seemed to be a piece of poor judgment. Such plays are exactly as bad as errors...
