...good deal of knack in this sort of racing, and speed is a somewhat minor consideration. Thus it gives those lacking this latter quality a fine chance to put in good and effective work. In our flat races we stand as we did last year; we have only lost one "first-place" man from these events, and many new and promising men are showing up. There is still, however, plenty of room for more, and many an unsuspecting man, especially among those who play much tennis and such games, has turned out a strong runner. A few new walkers have...
...this fall after the term began were surprised to find the doors locked against them until petitions for admittance from them had been passed upon by the faculty, and some of the tardy ones whose excuses were not satisfactory were still more surprised when they learned that they had lost their rank in the classes and could continue residence here only as special students. We believe thoroughly in the rule which requires the students to present themselves on the day of registration, but, for one or two reasons, we think that there has been considerable harshness this fall in carrying...
...popular belief at Harvard that autumn practice does no good in athletic sports, except of course in football. This is a great mistake.

The university men regained it shortly afterwards on four downs, but immediately lost it by a bad fumble. Six minutes after play began, L. T. Bliss broke through the Harvard line, passed all the Harvard backs, and made the first touchdown...
...passed to Perry, who was downed before he had made any substantial advance. Failing to advance the ball by rushing, Harvard was forced to kick the ball; it was well returned by Bliss and badly fumbled by Palmer, allowing Andover to secure it in Harvard's territory. The lost ground was soon regained by good work, but the ball was again lost to Andover by a fumble. C. A. Bliss ran around the end of the Harvard line and would have secured a touchdown had he not been well tackled by Palmer near Harvard's goal line. A minute later...
