...Fenno did some good tacking and followed the ball well. The backs when playing on the offensive showed a marked tendency to run back and several times were downed for a loss of almost 10 yards. Ninety nine showed the better team work, but did not seem to be able to advance the ball at critical times. Dibblee played well at quarter and made some pretty tackles, and Proctor struck the line hard and was almost sure of a gain every time he ran. Following is the line...
Jaffray ought to have made holes easily, but he did not seem to be able to do so yesterday. Of the men in the line Gould played perhaps the best game. He was active, got through once in a while, and got into the interference fairly well. Neither Beale nor Hamlen succeeded in getting as much snap into the men as Borden did last Saturday. Hamlen was exceedingly slow in giving his signals and Beale was little better...
Although it was expected that the Academic Freshman class at Yale would be smaller this year than last, the figures so far received seem to show that '99 has the usual increase in numbers. Over 400 men took the examinations in different parts of the country and of these 120 were accepted in full, while 192 were conditioned. Fifty more received preliminary certificates. This leaves a total of 362 men for '99, but the class will probably enter with not more than 350 members as compared with 338 in last year's freshman class. Harvard '99 is about 100 larger...
...Leighton Parks closed the services with a few remarks on the passage: "I come not to destroy but to fulfill." Many men come to Harvard and find that the very things they were taught to respect are scoffed at. It may seem to some that religion had come to an end. One man wraps his religion in the napkin of orthodoxy and will not have it touched or made more effective for fear of losing it entirely, while another flings it away and says: "Harvard destroyed my religion...
...part in perpetuating the garbled forms which occur in many collections. In some instances stanzas have been omitted from necessity, and in others stanzas have been transposed for convenience; but in all instances the author's language has been scrupulously sought for and retained. A few hymns which seem to be historically and inevitably composite, are so noted, and their sources are explained in the index of authors. In the musical settings similar pains have been taken to secure accurate and authorized readings as appears in the index of composers...
