...question which has arisen with regard to the touchdown in the Exeter game points out a serious defect in the conduct of our less important football games. The point brought up may have been somewhat obscure--indeed ability to interpret the rules accurately requires very careful study--but it only emphasizes the need of experienced men to act in these important capacities. In urging this, however, we realize the difficulties which beset the coaches and managers of class and second football teams. They have no central board to assign them officials, and many men who have the experience necessary...
...both offense and defense the Freshmen were superior, and the only serious weaknesses that the 1911 team displayed were the poor work of its quarterbacks and frequent fumbling. Corbett was the star of the Freshman team; he was down under every punt and no gains were made around his end. Sprague, before his knee was injured, played well.

The Stadium is amply provided with stairways, and the brief delay caused by using the proper exits is not of enough importance to excuse such serious accidents as may occur through over-haste...
...occasions offer to undergraduates more opportunities for serious thought than the filling out of their list of courses at the beginning of the College year. A course of study, which in many institutions is wholly or in part determined and prescribed by their officers, is here worked out by each individual student in accordance with his tastes and aims. This almost unqualified freedom of choice, which is peculiarly Harvard's has often been criticised by those who doubt the ability of the average undergraduate to think intelligently for himself. They can no doubt, cite actual cases of misdirected energies...
