Contrary to the original plan there was again a scrimmage yesterday afternoon and the defense made a strong showing. The second team was given the ball three times on the 15-yard line and every time was met by a solid resistance against which it was impossible to gain. The offense was also stronger, the men starting fast and together. The interference was more effective and the team play was noticeably better than at any time since the week before the Pennsylvania game. In the 13-minute scrimmage the first eleven made two touchdowns by hard rushing and consistent gains...
...debate was held in Sanders Theatre on May 5. The University team won by analyzing the question clearly, selecting three cardinal points and working them into a solid argument for its position.

...saves the Dining Association $150 per month. This is principally due to the fact that the ammonia coils require a large amount of water, which, when purchased from the city, was a heavy expense. The well is eight inches in diameter and 320 feet deep, 260 feet being through solid rock. A wrought iron pipe extends to the rock 80 feet below the surface and keeps the water free from impurities...
...interesting changes in the point of view of the college journalist. The old Advocate was distinctly a newspaper, and to a large degree, a Harvard newspaper; of the twelve pages of the issue, less than one was given to advertising, but it had two pages of editorials and three solid pages of brief correspondence, College news, "Lies of the Week," and so on. There were then no dailies, and hence the undergraduates expected the semi-monthly CRIMSON and the Advocate to enlighten them. The itemeditor, prototype of the CRIMSON representatives who make life so agreeable for the officers...
