Wagonfals and Kemper's production of "The Bat" at the Morosco Theatre, New York, has a record of having sold every seat in the theatre for each performance since the opening night. It is said that a flat offer of $100 for a pair of seats was recently made by a man who insisted on seeing the play that night, but the house was already sold out. The box office statements show in addition that to date 4211 persons have bought standing room tickets...
...Crimson seven seems fairly well settled by this time, Coach Claflin has had his eye to possible contingencies, and has been trying out various combinations in the forward line in recent practices. Despite the fact that Emmons and Bacon clearly outshine Baker and Angier on the wings, the latter pair are putting up an excellent brand of hockey, and sure of a chance in the later periods. Buntin and Snelling have both worked out at right center, in Captain Bigelow's regular position, and in case of accident, any pair from these three will present a smooth working combination...
...their rank.

Among the workers in a plant there are a thousand variations in pay, skill and privileges, emoluments that represent...
...team where he could not, with the same effort, make any of the other University teams. Not every man knows how to catch a baseball or a football. It takes a certain type of a man to make the crew, but in track all that is necessary is a pair of legs, a pair of arms, and a lot of determination. I wish that space would permit me to give the names of all men who have made Harvard track teams who never knew that they had any athletic ability when they came to Cambridge, and to name others...
...regular position at center, Callahan was temporarily installed as guard. Cross, whose work at center in the Calgate game left much to be desired, was given a day off and his place was filled, not by Galvin, but Guernsey. Into and Walker played tackles and the usual pair, Cutler and Dilworth, were at the ends. The backfield combination of Murphy, Kempton, Aldrich, and either Jordan or Frank Kelley, seems to be the most formidable that Coach Jones has been able to select...
