...organizations which the university supports-its athletic association, publications, religious and literary societies, besides affording meeting rooms for committees and classes. It has become in fact the centre of university life. It is confined to no special department of the university nor is it in its influence more or less beneficial to students possessing social position and means than to those who possess neither. In other words, it appeals to all sorts of students and inasmuch as the club does this is its influence a broadening one and of the most vital use to the university...
Harvard fumbled badly, yet only once did she lose the ball through her own carelessness. West Point, however, was less lucky. Of five fumbles, four resulted in a loss of the ball when steady gains were advancing it towards Harvard's line. Harvard's play was slow and ragged on the defensive while West Point's was at least snappy and aggressive, though not always effective. With the exception of Sawin's runs of 25 and 30 yards, Dibblee's dodging run of 30 yards and Warren's plunge of 30 yards through centre, West Point's backs proved themselves...
...last year's figures over those of the year before.

...Club similar to those which have proved so successful at other colleges, notably at Pennsylvania. Last year practically nothing was done in the matter. There were two causes for this inaction. One was the hard times, which discouraged any effort to raise a large sum. The other cause had less weight. It was an unaccountable feeling on the part of some of the graduate promoters of the scheme, that the undergraduates did not heartily wish such a club. We are at a loss to explain this feeling, and it seems to us that beyond doubt the great majority...
...spite of the size of the Freshman class there have been this year fifty less candidates than last. It has been suggested by Freshmen that some "best material" has never reported at all. This shows little spirit in 1901, and it is earnestly hoped that the class will take some action to make the proposed cutting down on Wednesday impossible...
