...order to decide what part in higher education the college shall play, the last two answers must be considered more at length; though, as President Butler suggests, no general rule for all colleges is likely to prove desirable, for colleges may have "somewhat different ideals to labor for." Taking Columbia as an example, however, the four years' course appears too long. A sentiment against it has been growing up for many years and has been made manifest lately by Harvard's announcement favoring graduation in three years and by Columbia's provision which allows the last college year...
...Harvard in the game a year ago on account of a fumble, but with the lesson which the University team learned last Wednesday a repetition of this misplay is hardly likely to occur. As the Bates team is weaker than usual, a large score should be made. The length of the halves today will be fifteen minutes each. The two teams will line up as follows: HARVARD. BATES. Jones, l.e. r.e., Libby, Connors. Wright, l.t. r.t., Andrews, Phillips. A. Marshall, l.g. r.g., Howes, Jackson King, c. c., Cutten. Barnard, r.g. l.g., Hunt. Knowlton, r.t. l.t., J. Reed. Bowditch...
...downs. Then followed a series of punts and fumbles, and for the rest of the game the ball changed hands back and forth near the centre of the field, but with the advantage almost entirely with the second eleven. The time of playing was extended beyond the usual length in order to give the University team an opportunity to redeem itself, but without any noticeable effect. In a line-up between the first and second team substitutes, which ended the practice, Parker, of the second team, received a punt on his forty yard line and ran 70 yards...
...brought to Bowdoin's three-yard line. Graydon was given the ball to carry over but in the midst of the scrimmage there was a fumble, and as the ball rolled out. Porter, Bowdoin's right end, picked it up, and, with both teams behind him, ran the length of the field for a touchdown. Philoon kicked an easy goal. Score, Harvard 0, Bowdoin 6. With only a few minutes to play, the Harvard team pulled together and immediately after the kick-off forced Bowdoin to punt. Marshall caught the ball at the centre of the field and though there...
...five yard line where the second team got the ball on downs and Hodges punted well out of danger nearly to the centre of the field. In the second half the tables were turned when the second eleven, principally owing to Hurley's long runs, rushed the length of the field and was then held for downs almost on the goal line. The line-ups were: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Burgess, Littig, l.e. r.e., Crocker, Mook Wright, O'Connell, l.t. r.t., Dodge, Frantz Hovey, Bleakie, l.g. r.g., Lehmann, H. Bowditch King, Force, c. c., Bleakie, Carrick Wilder, Hovey...
