...Harvard's touchdowns was made by what will generally be called a fluke. There was, however, much more than mere chance in Graustein's long run, for even had he broken free, no score could have resulted without quick and concerted action on the part of the rest of the team. The interference by which one Brown man after another was put out of the play was the best exhibition of this sort seen on Soldiers Field for a long time. When Corbett made his long run in the Bates game in 1908, the score which followed was the result...
...Harvard Aeronautical Society on Soldiers Field are magnificently generous and form a proof of his appreciation for the Society's work in the Harvard-Boston Aero Meet. Mr. Grahame-White is now receiving $5000 a day or more, and he offers to fly on Soldiers Field for his mere expenses. This remarkable offer places before the student body an opportunity such as no other community has ever had, and it is certain that practically no member of the University would be absent from such an exhibition as Mr. Grahame-White would give...
...Sunday afternoon receptions. These entertainments, inaugurated last year, from one of the most important stepping stones toward a new and vastly improved relation between the Faculty and undergraduates, President Lowell is setting an example which, if followed, will change the instructor in the minds of his classes from a mere platform figure at lectures to an interested and sympathetic friend...
...fundamental change in the game will be the absence of pushing and pulling the man with the ball. This will result in the use of lighter and faster men in the backfield, and do away entirely with the use of heavy and powerful combinations to force their way by mere weight and strength through the opposing line. The rule prohibiting flying tackling will be violated by many players, for cases will occur when a 10-yard gain can be saved by incurring a 5-yard penalty...
...that a couple of more extended discussions of interesting subjects might well have replaced half a dozen or so of these smaller sketches. A few of these, however, are excellent, notably the article on the late William Everett by Rev. P. R. Frothingham '86. But many of them are mere summaries, such as we should expect to find under the departmental notes. "From a Graduates' Window" comments with not wholly fortunate jocosity on the growing cosmopolitanism of Harvard. Mr. Holman's account of "Living Harvards and their family records" is sufficiently entertaining; and it is interesting to know that...
