...standing; for such men came to college with bodies better reared and trained for skilful athletic work. Continued defeat has caused positions on university teams in the last five years, literally speaking, to go begging. In the class of '87, there were men fitted by health and strength to lead the crew to victory, but who refused to sit in the boat and so refused with impunity. Neither the anticipation of success nor a feeling of honor on the subject had sufficient power to bring them back to hard training. And these were the kind of men who, lacking...
...every way fitted for the construction of a tank. How much such a tank will cost, it is impossible to say, but in a matter of such vital importance to the crew, subscriptions, both from graduates and undergraduates, should be generous.

Technology forced the ball to Harvard's 30-yard line when Crosby got the ball from a fumble, and run the entire distance to the Technology...
...glad to learn that last night the Lacrosse Association summoned up enough energy to hold a meeting in Holden Chapel. The lethargy shown by the association so far this fall might lead one to believe that the lacrosse interests of the college were dead. Harvard lost the championship last year, and from the present outlook bids fair to distinguish itself in the same way next spring. However, an important move was made in the election of a captain for the team. We hope that he will infuse a little more vigor into the team and make the men trying...
