...Grenfell, the founder of the Poor Relief Stations of Labrador, will speak at St. Paul's Cathedral, Tremont street, Boston, tonight at 8 o'clock. His subject is to be "The Greatest Prize in the World," the lecture being open to the public. Owing to the necessary cancellation of Dr. Grenfell's address at the Union, this opportunity to hear him in Boston should be welcome to Harvard...
There have been a great many changes in the Yale line during the past week, owing to injuries to some of the players and to poor showing of others.

Madden played tackle while Hubbard was at the end, a position which at present is giving...

...second team, and one of 15 minutes against the Freshman team, practically finished the hard work of the University football squad in preparation for the Holy Cross game tomorrow. The regular team played but a short time, and the Freshman field, where scrimmages were held, was in such poor conditions that the men had great difficulty in starting and keeping their feet. Yet the whole team showed a power and spirit that on a dry field would have been disastrous for their opponents. As it was, they scored two touchdowns on the second team, and a safety against the Freshmen...
