...calling for candidates to-night for the freshman crews. It is highly necessary that the work for the crew should begin at once and the captain of the 'varsity has made careful plans for the year and is working hard to produce a good freshman crew in the spring. Nevertheless he cannot do the work alone and however zealously he begins it, he needs the support of the class, and a large number of candidates to choose from. Moreover it is highly necessary that the freshman race be won this year as well as the 'varsity, and Ninety...
...there is a good story - a Calabrian story - by Elizabeth Cavazza, who introduced herself so delightfully a month or so ago by a little thing in the Century called 'When Angry, Count a Hundred.' The present story is not as good as its predecessor, but it is good nevertheless. An interesting comparison of the Naulahka and the Wrecker occupies several pages with the result that the Wrecker receives no great praise, while its rival is judged 'one of the happiest and finest jests we have had for a long time.'

Nevertheless, anyone who saw the very small crowd at the final game yesterday, a crowd consisting largely of fellows who had friends with them, must have felt that even if the expenses were saved something else was lost. The enthusiasm was (for a class game) reduced to a minimum. When so much...
...victory, nevertheless, was not such a decided one as was expected. There were a good many uncomfortable surprises in yesterday's games to make the thought of them wholly satisfactory. It was generally conceded that the score would not be so overwhelming as it was last year, but few expected to see it quite so close as it was yesterday. When one considers that the shifting of one first prize from Harvard's side to that of Yale would have tied the score, one begins to hesitate about talking of the sure thing that Harvard has in track athletics.
