...Faculty believe that the present period of over two weeks should be shortened; but the general sentiment seems to be that while much time is wasted, no better results will be obtained by increasing the strain at the examination period. Professor Palmer maintains that any loss of time is offset by the benefit which good students receive from the opportunity to thoroughly review and co-ordinate their work...
...field events Harvard has had only one or two reliable point-winners in a number of years, the excellent work of the track men last season being largely offset by mediocre results in the field events. Strangely enough Yale has recently outclassed Harvard in this particular, but this season Captain Gardner seems to be the only star field athlete, and Harvard should make a relatively better showing.

Whether the experience of the Princeton game offset by its physical strain, will mean the complete rounding out of this team remains to be seen by the work of the players in today's game. Whether Yale wins or loses, she is certain that no team has tried harder than this team, to learn the game and play it as the Yale coaches believe it should be played. It is this fact which has caused the coaches to have confidence...
