Thoroughly as this number of the Illustrated covers the gymnasium problem, the reviewer doubts if it will attract the flippant undergraduate, or, for that matter the flippant graduate. Its illustrations are mostly unflattering snap-shots of the ugliest Harvard buildings. Altogether, the Illustrated suffers from over-specialization in photographs and expository articles. Its editors need illustrators, story-writers, verse-makers, whose work may set off articles like those of Dr. Williams and Mr. Parsons; and they ought to realize that pictures of Compressibility Machines, Seismographs, and Boylston Hall cannot liven any magazine which aims to be more spirited than...
Short as it was, yesterday's practice was highly encouraging. The team seemed to have recovered almost entirely from the listlessness displayed in the Dartmouth game, and showed a great amount of snap and vigor. The forwards kept together well, exhibiting both speed and headwork in rushing and following back. All the players were quick to cover their men, and avoided the corners. On the whole, the team seems in top condition for tomorrow's game, and can be depended upon to put up a stiff game against Princeton...
...face of the predicted cold snap, the University crew held practice on the river yesterday afternoon. This is the first time on record that the crew has rowed on the river in January. Practice consisted of a twenty-minute row up the river. The men took their places in the following order: stroke, Pirnie; 7, Meyer; 6, Harwood; 5, Mills; 4; MacVicar; 3, Reynolds; 2, Fuller; bow, Carver; coxswain Abeles...
...University team has apparently not yet struck its stride and in the daily practices since the recess has shown little improvement. The forwards are not playing with the snap and dash which characterized their work before Christmas when the team repeatedly defeated the B. A. A. in practice scrimmages. The principal weakness seems to lie in the crude team-play. The men carry the puck down the ice well individually but lose it at the critical moment near the goal on slow and poor passing. The second team defence, however, has been playing an exceptionally strong game of late...
...mass meeting held last week and also at the game Saturday the Harvard singing was disappointing. It lacked snap and spirit. That few knew the words of the old songs tried was shown by the failure to begin at the proper time and the tendency to hum rather than pronounce the words. If the singing is to be at all satisfactory, these defects must be remedied and this can be done only by practice. To learn the words of the old songs would not require an extraordinary mental exertion and would make the concerted singing much more effective. Furthermore...
