...curious game, their three backs bunching close behind the quarter-back and breaking through the centre of the rush line together. Their play was effective, rarely gaining for them less than three yards, and often five or eight. The reason the Harvard team could not stop these rushers better lay in the fact that all the men were very slow in getting through, and all tackled high. The offensive game of the Harvard team was the best that it has played this year. The running of the backs was strong and the blocking off of the men unusually good...
...number of students in line. Confessedly we do not take part in the parade for political motives but merely for the sake of the enjoyment derived therefrom. Thus, as the choice of procession does not represent the political principles of the college, the representatives of all parties should lay aside partisanship and join in making our part, at least, of the procession a success. As yet no men from the Law School have signified an intention of marching. Since the Law School has always been repesented in the past, we urge the speedy formation of a battalion in that department...
...hares shall carry paper cut in pieces about two inches square, in bags, sufficient to last the length of the run, and in both "fast" and "slow" hunts shall lay a plain trail from start to finish, changes of direction being plainly shown in every case. If the scent is voted unsatisfactory by three-quarters of the hounds, the H. A. A. reserves the right to withdraw the prizes. Complaints must be made by petition within two days after the hunt...
...successful result of the change in the mode of conducting the society's business that was adopted last year. As the report published in another column shows, the society has covered all its running expenses and has netted besides a profit of $2,200. If the directors lay aside a third of this sum, to be added to the capital of the society, as they contemplate doing and as, indeed, it seems to us wise that they should do, a sum of something over $1,500 still remains to be divided among the members. Although this sume...
...base hits. The final score stood 29 to 5. With this disastrous game ended the chain of light defeats which Yale experienced from Harvard. Up to the end of '73 there can be no doubt that the Harvard nines were uniformly better than the Yale nines. Harvard's advantage lay in the number of excellent clubs in and near Boston, from whom she learned a scientific knowledge of the game. This is shown by her uniform steadiness and team work, a feature noticeably absent from Yale nines...
