Harvard won the opening game of the season Saturday afternoon, defeating Williams by the score of 20 to 0, in two well played halves of fifteen minutes each. The initial appearance of the 'Varsity was decidedly encouraging. Although Williams was somewhat weaker than last year, they nevertheless presented a heavy team that is capable of very good football. The score does not show how much Harvard outclassed her opponents. Only once was the ball lost on downs, and Williams never succeeded in holding the ball for more than four downs. In point of team play the latter was very much...
...total sales of the Co-operative Society during the last year show an increase of about $5,000 over the sales of the year '95-'96. In detail, however, the report shows that the sales of the Cambridge branch have fallen somewhat short of those of the previous year, while those of the Medical School branch, which last year moved into new quarters, have been more than doubled. It is impossible to account accurately for this decrease in the Cambridge sales or for the decrease or increase in the different departments. Many of the men who previously bought in Cambridge...
Since the closing of the College year last June, work on the Soldiers Field improvements has steadily progressed and now the way seems clear to an early completion of the changes.

While the conditions at Poughkeepsie are more favorable than on the Thames, and although the smoothness of the water and a good breeze blowing up the river helped somewhat in today's performance, it is nevertheless considered that the race was a very remarkable one, since the last crew to come in-Cornell-lowered the previous record by 11 1-2 seconds. The race was rowed upstream, the start being about a mile below the bridge...
...running track it is proposed to have a foundation of 18 inches of heavy stone. Over this a layer of finer crushed stone will be placed, and the whole will receive the usual cinder covering. The practice fields will be rolled and graded somewhat, but not much work will be done until the necessity for it appears, since the only really damp portion of the field is, as we have seen, that area near the middle portion of the old gridiron which was usually too slippery for satisfactory work. The whole field will ultimately be surrounded with trees, and when...
