...Wednesday's game. Bowdoin managed to nose out the Brown and Blue 12-9--but the Medford team evidently had a bad day. HARVARD TUFTS Lincoln, 3b. 2b., Loud Gordon, r.f. c.f., Roche Jenkins, 2b. p., Weefer Owen, 1b. c., Keefe Janin, l.f. s.s., White Buell, 2b. 3b., Roach Hallock, c.f. 1b., Kirshstein Murphy, c. l.f., Finnegan Goode or Russell, p. r.f., Terrill
...house by storm; if he would forget about shouting into the balcony, his acting would fill the part well. A noticeable flaw in the ensemble was a failure to distinguish between high and low life: it is a case of democracy to the negation of the individual. Viola Roach, the old Copley favorite, is relegated to a minor part and further handicapped by crutches, the penalty of a sprained foot.

The role, of "Eve", on the other hand, as taken by Miss Powers, and that of "Dr. Janson" (Mr. Gilbert) were full of life and sparkle...
...missed Miss Roach, but not nearly as much as we expected to. Miss Willard, as Lady Teazle, and Miss Standing, as Maria, are endowed with a pulchritude which, enhanced by the natural grace and finish of their acting, add much to the enjoyment of the play. Beauty at the Copley is like artichokes in Sioux City,--the more to be enjoyed because unexpected. Charles and Joseph Surface, played by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Joy respectively, were as different as brothers usually are, and were acted indifferently well. Mr. Johnson is so vigorous in his acting and has such good lungs...
