They read that Eskimo Kudlooktoo and his friend Eskimo Inukitsoq (nicknamed "Harrigan") were returning on April 10, 1909 with Professor Marvin from an expedition supporting Peary's dash for the Pole. According to Kudlooktoo, Marvin suddenly "sordlo ilisimajungnaersimasok" ["was like a sane man who for the moment was without the use of his faculties"]. Marvin, Kudlooktoo alleges, ordered Inukitsoq to get off the dog sledge, and proposed to leave him on the ice to die without food-all for no apparent reason. Kudlooktoo thereupon shot Marvin with a rifle, to save Inukitsoq, and the two Eskimos returned to Peary...
...were other new comers in the Crimson mode of attack. On the only deceptive play used y the University eleven during the course of the afternoon, a delayed buck through guard by Sayles, the Crimson right half back ran for a touchdown. For the remainder of the safe and sane veriety was in order. If the new system includes an over head offense it was kept well under cover against the Pennsylvanians.

Not even three years, when they should be broadening their minds, spent in fitting an esotericism in scholarship to their mental decorations can completely dull these men. Furthermore, they like university life. It means the companionship of cultivated minds. It means refuge from the mechanical efficiency of a complacent...
...without breaking any existing convenants. Harvard is perfectly justified in so doing. And there is no reason to suggest that any inconsistency attaches to keeping the last game of the year the only game stressed. For this also is in accord with the Crimson's policy of traditional and sane rivalships instead of championships in whatever sense. As to the rumors concerning an impossible situation with the Geneva authorities, one can only suggest a perusal of the statement of the athletic committee of that college to Director Bingham...
