...case they will not agree, the remaining alternative is to adapt the present system to interdormitory needs. And in the first place, a return to the former longer schedules, with a special first squad, seems essential, if we are frankly to face the fact that victory is nearest the heart of every undergraduate and make it the immediate (though not the underlying) end. Interdormitory games could be held at the same time, only starting a little later. Having a separate personnel, they need not interfere with the work of the regular squad; and men who showed exceptional ability could...
...Wisconsin, 28; Stanford, 28; Technology, 28; Johns Hopkins, 26; Chicago, 26, and California, 25. Various combinations could be made showing that the University has graduated since about 1890 as many distinguished men as a number of other institutions added together. Harvard has nearly twice at many as its nearest competitor and three times as many as the third institution...
...this year's squad, H. W. Minot '17 from the second team, and several backs of unusual promise from the 1919 eleven, H. C. Flower, E. L. Casey, R. Bond and G. L. Batchelder.

No one asked knew anything of it, indeed one man who has been about this vicinity of Cambridge for 50 years was questioned without avail. Thus far no mention of it has been found in any of the histories of the University, though...
...nearest approach to a plot, is embodied in a parody on Goethe, "The Hardships of Hans," by Mr. H. Amory '16, who apparently tries to satirize the great poet's sensitiveness to feminine influence. Mr. Amory depends for his laughs largely on horse play, and his humor is not altogether subtle and delicate; it is crude in many places. But if inexperienced, he is very ingenious in "getting a laugh...
