President Lowell, in a brief address made last evening before the Catholic Club spoke of the unity of all religious sects for a common cause. Because the Christian church is divided up, there is no reason to feel that it is divided against itself. All the truly good men of every religion are really working together in the cause of righteousness, and have far more real unity than people of the same sect who are indifferent to the advancement of Christianity. The really harmful men are those who take their religion lightly, or those who have no true belief...
...scrimmage the first team easily excelled the second in every department of the game, scoring 16 points to the second's nothing. On the defence McKay and Minot seemed impregnable and their substitutes allowed but few gains through the centre of the line. For this reason there was very little work for the defensive backs.

The coaches showed marked foresight when on Tuesday they, refused to put Hicks in the box. No matter how well he might have pitched then, he could not have eradicated Yale's twelve runs. Today he will start with a clean score...
...evils of a long established custom are too apt to be overlooked and the advantages of a proposed remedy to be dismissed as theoretical and unpractical. Although this natural conservative tendency is the reason for inactivity in reform, it is certainly no justification for the undue continuance of a "laissez-faire" policy. The present tutoring system is not satisfactory, and various expedients, among which that outlined above would probably bring the best results, are possible. Under the circumstances, some remedial action on the part of the authorities should be undertaken...
