...some ways it is to be regretted that it became necessary to start a rival school only a few miles from Technology. The scheme of joining the engineering courses at Harvard with those at M. I. T., forbidden by the Supreme Court of this state, seemed at first thought to be much more convenient and sensible. But the University actually is in great need of a scientific school and is entirely capable of supporting one. While most of the other large universities have had such schools of their own, Harvard has individually been represented by none. While the present arrangements...
Although there is almost no data from which to make a comparison of the rival crews, the University is slightly the favorite in view of its victory over Princeton and the Blue's defeat at the hands of the Quaker oarsmen. This advantage, however, would seem to be balanced by the Crimson's lack of experienced men, none of the crew being veterans, in contrast to the Elis, who have three of last year's first boat entered in the race today, Hyatt, Mead and Vail. Statistics of the oarsmen show that the University outweighs the Eli eight pounds...
...season at the Charles-bank rink this afternoon at 3.15 o'clock, when the 1921 players oppose Rindge Technical School of Cambridge.

The probable 1921 lineup for the game is as follows: l.w., Van Ingen; l.c., Buntin; r.c., Bigelow; r.w., Bacon, Phillips; c.p., Sessions; p., Humphrey; g., C. Stillman...
This contest will be fought as keenly as any formal game, even though the rewards of victory are slight. Those men who have been practising for a month have shown that team-play and spirit can be developed without the incentive of a definite rival to be beaten. Interest in the sport for itself has made the seven eager to practice. So, too, it welcomes the opportunity to meet the sailors. The debut of the informals in the Arena may lack the importance of a formal game, but not the rivalry...
Such a move will be most beneficial. In the first place, almost all the fighters have seriously endangered their prospects of success in business. Time which would otherwise have been spent in practising some trade or profession and in keeping ahead of some rival has been used for a nobler cause. The veteran is not only likely to be losing his position, but also to forget those fine bits of knowledge on which he relied for advancement. In the second place, foreign armies include many men taken from the middle of their college career. Boys who have not even completed...
