...appeal which the needs of the poor in the great cities should make upon the interest of all intelligent men; Harvard men ought to feel what the darker side of life is. Alms are not the whole of charity. Successful charity must do four things: relieve worthy need, prevent unwise alms to the unworthy, raise, where possible, every needy person into independence, and make sure that no child grows to be a pauper...
Candidates for the team to compete in the intercollegiate cross country race in New York on November 26 report to Mr. Graham at the Locker Building at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon. Inexperience need not prevent a man from trying, as the work will be elementary and not difficult for some time. The trial to select a team of five men will be held November...
Irregular development and inconsistent and startling reversal of form throughout the season are causes which at this time prevent a true estimate of the Harvard team's worth. Secret practice, however, which has been going on during the past week, has corrected some of the earlier faults, and by perfecting various formations, has immeasurably increased the attacking power of the eleven.

Team A, 1 0 0 0 4 0 2 0 1-- 8 7 9 Team...
...Harvard team was in the guard positions where Hovey and Shea by playing too high were unable to make holes for the backs and to stop the Bowdoin attack. Graydon made some good gains but his fumbling was the worst feature of the game; he also failed to prevent the opponents' backs from hurdling the line. Jones's playing at left end was encouraging but in getting down under punts he several times over-ran his man. Marshall gave indications of the return of his last year's ability and throughout the game, until relieved near the end by Elkins...
