...best playing for Exeter was done by her half-back, Holden, whose run in the first three-quarters was by ad odds the prettiest play of the game. For Harvard, the rushing of Cochrane, Fletcher and Brooks was noticeable, and the kicking of Willard was particularly good. Although the freshmen at times played a loose game, yet as a whole, they did very creditably in this their first important game of the season, and with a little more practice in picking up the ball and in tackling their chances seem very good. The rushing of several...
...made on the book is a lack of thoroughness in arranging some of the newly inserted songs. "Fair Harvard," for example, should have been arranged in parts, as should the chorus of "Over the Garden Wall." Only the chorus of "Climbing" is given, although the introductory solo is the prettiest portion of the song; while the words of "Yale Men Say" are sadly mangled.

We are not overpraising when we say that the "Mari Magno" in the first number this fall is the prettiest bit of verse we have met with in this review. The wonted dignified conservatism of the Advocate is as prevalent in its verses as in its editorials, and sets it off in a distinct contrast to the other papers. Among the items verses also are frequently found, capital hits, such...
...ball safely. The better way to work a reform in this direction is, as we have suggested above, to diminish the efficiency of the pitcher. By abolishing the foul-bound catch the advantage given to the batter will be comparatively small, and at the same time some of the prettiest and most brilliant plays which now add so much to the interest of the game will be rendered impossible...
