...Peabody Museum has recently published a preliminary report of explorations which it has been conducting for several years past, among the prehistoric ruins of Copan, in Honduras. The explorations were begun in the early part of 1891 and have been carried on ever since. Progress has been necessarily slow because it has been impossible for any work to be done except in the dry seasons. This report is the first one of a series of quarto memoirs which the Peabody Museum will issue in regard to these discoveries at Copan. It consists of a preliminary outline of the nature...
When Lord Delaware, the newly appointed governor, arrived in 1610, he found affairs in a wretched condition, due to three causes: The lack of a strong government: the communistic system; and the general bad character of the people. Improvement began at once, although it was necessarily slow. To provide the much-needed food Somers went with Argall to Bermuda. Somers himself died and his crew, disobeying his orders to return to Virginia, set sail for England. Argall, however, procured food from the Indians on the Potomac. In March, 1611, Delaware sailed for England, leaving George Percy in charge of affairs...

On the breaking through the first eleven was rather slow, often failing to stop the punt. On the defensive the men were better though still not as good as they should be. The first eleven lined up as follows...
...past two weeks, Harvard players coming from Soldiers Field from their practice, lame and limping through Harvard square, and yet they are expected to win games! The contrast between Princeton and Harvard men on Saturday was most striking, one team was fresh and ready, the other stiff and slow and apparently used up. Why does Harvard have so many cripples every year before the great college contests begin? Why cripple the men ourselves? Is the management right? It is most important to win over Pennsylvania as it is a great college contest-it is not material about the Boston Athletic...
...half, Bannard, behind Smith's clever interference, got through between Brewer and Swain and scored after a fine dodging run of 40 yards. Again, shortly before the end of the game, with the ball on Harvard's 20 yard line, Brown dropped back for a kick. The pass was slow and too high and just as Brown got the ball away, Church blocked it. It rolled back of the line where Brokaw fell on it for the second touchdown. Baird kicked both goals...
