...University hockey squad held a short practice yesterday afternoon on the rink in the Stadium. Owing to the heavy rain, the ice was covered with about a half-inch of water, and accurate passing or shooting was impossible. Most of the practice consisted in fast skating, in order to get the men into as good physical condition as possible for the game with Technology today...
...years ago two class-mates of mine "Out" for the Lampoon, used regularly to devote a portion of each day, rain or shine, to helping each other think up jokes. Apparently times have not changed, not the ways of candidates or editors in them. Yet jokes, like poets, are born, not made. Humor means, if anything, an irrepressible, sensitiveness to incongruities, and contradictions in things, unspirited, be it added, by any immediate desire to correct them. Its expression is a revelation to itself, a, sudden unexpected sparkle and flash refracted from some absurdity. College humor, moreover, should be provincial...
...purely literary articles, all have the merit of attempting something difficult and interesting. The attempts are, however, not uniformly successful. Only one of the poems is satisfactory. In Mr. H. E. Porter's "Horace's Garden," we find marble statues keeping guard against the snares of wind and rain, and silence muffling a landscape with a counterpane,--figures too metaphysical to be happy. Mr. R. J. Walsh's "The Death of Cleopatra" has gained a prize as a translation from Horace. Mr. Tinckom-Fernandez's "Odalisque," clear in thought, admirable in melody, worthily maintains the standard of "Advocate" verse...
Last night, in the rain, one of the largest parades of undergraduates which has ever assembled marched over Cambridge and cheered until they were hoarse. Does that indicate that the men who have backed the team throughout the season are running to cover under the so-called "Harvard indifference," merely because we have two defeats behind us and a hard game ahead? Let us ignore technical perfection for a few days. No team ever won a real victory by that alone, and many "invincible" teams have learned that the right sort of a fight will disturb the most thoroughly perfected...
...spite of a drizzling rain last evening a crowd of 1500 enthusiastic students paraded through the Yard, then through Harvard square down to Mt. Auburn street, and back to the Yard again, cheering the football team. The meeting broke up in front of University Hall after cheers had been given for every member of the team and the coaches. The demonstration was entirely spontaneous and gave evidence to the confidence which the undergraduates have in the team, and to the general impression among the undergraduates that when the teams take the field on Saturday Yale will have to play better...
