...balance of advantage for victory Yale achieved through better kicking. Princeton could hardly be expected also to equal Harvard in rushing with a rush line of a gross weight even more disproportionate to Harvard's than Yale's, which from the start of the match was crippled by the loss of the most powerful and skilled rusher of it. But the Harvard-Princeton game was certainly a splendid demonstration of what the rushing of a heavy team can do when it is not exactly provided against.

One of the "goodies" in Weld was unfortunate enough a day or two ago to have some light-fingered wanderer walk off with the bunch of keys. On this account a carpenter has been employed...
