...Freshman second football team was defeated by Middlesex School at Concord yesterday afternoon by the score of 6 to 0. On Harvard's 10-yard line Meyer passed the ball over Minot's head on a kick formation. Lee broke through, recovered the ball for Middlesex, and ran the short distance necessary for a touchdown. Both teams were weak on the offence. Brown, Holbrook, and Jenckes played well for the Freshmen...
...favor of Harvard, on account of the sad injury to acting-captain Byrne of the Army team. Cadet Eugene A. Byrne was playing left tackle, he had been bearing the brunt of the Harvard attack, and the strain had begun to tell on him. On the fatal play, a line plunge just outside left guard, the Harvard back, aided by two or three of his team-mates, had gained a few yards when Byrne dove head foremost in front of the men. In some way his head was caught so that it was bent under his chest as the players...
...number of beautiful tackles in the open field and receiving two short forward passes, while both he and Houston were down the field under almost every kick. Minot punted nine times, and the Army backs did not run these back for ten yards altogether. Minot played excellently, hitting the line hard and fast, but his punting was even more phenomenal. His nine punts averaged 37 yards and all but one were made against a brisk wind. Leslie, when substituted for Frothingham, was absolutely steady, so that he could always be counted on for a substantial gain, while, in addition...
West Point won the toss and acting-captain Byrne chose to receive the kick off at the north end, having the wind at his back. P. Withington kicked off to Dean, who ran to his 26-yard line, after some very clever dodging. A fake kick failed to gain so Dean punted to Frothingham, who was tackled instantly on Harvard's 40-yard line. A quarterback run gained seven yards, three line plays netted 17 yards more, but Harvard was penalized for offside play, leaving the ball on West Point's 50-yard line. Here O'Flaherty sent a forward...
...students to write finished and fine-spirited verse. More sustained effort is manifest in Mr. Hunt's adaptation of the delightful Middle-English lay "Sir Orfeo." This rendering--of which half is postponed to the December number-- is of striking excellence. Mr. Hunt employs with good effect an eight-line stanza, instead of the rhyming couplets of the original, but he adheres closely to the meaning and tone of the old poem. This is the only good translation of "Sir Orfeo" that has yet been made into modern English, and would be welcomed by many if published in separate form
