...Pudding play the thread of the plot may be never so tenuous--it may be reduced to a mere "vibration"; the "stunts" may be perfectly irrelevant, even unblushingly lugged in, and may outweigh all the rest; but so long as the music is gay--with some of the solos pretty; so long as the action is amusing, and the whole thing is given with gusto--that is all we have any right to demand of a Pudding play...

...ornamental but scarcely useful spectacle of three devoted students delving into the mysteries of the starfish's eye or earnestly promoting the interests of science by investigating the morphology of the house-fly.

They have won all their games, defeating Andover, with whom the Harvard Freshmen played a tie game, by the score of 22 to 0. This makes Yale's chances appear somewhat the better. The 1912 team, however...
