...plenty of strength in his running, but did not make enough use of his interference. The opportunity he lost by this was shown by the success gained by Kernan and Swann, who stuck to their interference throughout and made use of every advantage given them. Kernan also showed skill in throwing off tacklers which was lacking in the other backs. Stillman was weak in line bucking, but his punting was excellent. With good work by the ends he would have gained much ground by this, as his punts averaged forty yards...
...best piece in the number is "Hank Peters' Code," by F. R. DuBois. Aside from being a clever character study, it shows a thorough knowledge of the customs and surroundings of a miner's life.

Of those which received second mention, two of the Palfrey House are especially good in their massing of light and shade...
...lacrosse team lost it first game of the season on Saturday to the Crescent Athletic Club by the score of 15 to 0. Although outclassed in team work by their more experienced opponents, the Harvard players showed considerable skill in stick work, and in the second half played a fairly good all-round game. The great fault was the tendency of the men to leave their opponents unguarded when playing on the defensive...
