...said to have been induced by the opinions expressed by certain graduates who witnessed the last time row of the crew before it left Cambridge. The idea appears to have arisen from the manifest lack of life which has been the characteristic fault of the crew throughout the latter part of the season. At the outset, the material and prospects were remarkable; the crew in its early stages seemed to be further advanced than last year's eight. Of late the rowing has fallen off, and the crew in its present stage is probably not as good as last year...
Recent baseball scores, taken by themselves, would seem to indicate that the University baseball team is having a slump. This is not true, or is true only to the extent that the team is not playing quite the same game as in the earlier part of the season. The falling off is not to be accounted for by the over-training, over-confidence, or general listlessness which characterize the ordinary slump. It is due rather to the obstacles which have beset the team since the second Princeton game. First, there are the injuries to Briggs and MacLaughlin, which, however good...

...sports. This reasoning has been tested in connection with track meets: the Graduate Treasurer of the Athletic Association in his report for 1906-07 says, "The track events did not seem to draw, when standing on their own feet, the income they did when they were thrown in as part of the inducement to buy the regular H. A. A. season ticket." An indirect effect of the extension would undoubtedly be an increased attendance at the minor sport contests, a result much to be desired...
...residing in the neighborhood of Cambridge or Boston should not fail to avail themselves of the scheme through mere oversight. Even if they do not patronize the Union regularly, they will find it a pleasant place to take their friends for a meal. They will also be doing their part to support an institution which is the monument of Harvard public spirit and Harvard democracy...
