...feature that will please those used to Mr. Dooley's spelling is the two-page article on the Harvard-Yale Debate in French. It is to be hoped that the Lampoon will continue to show us up in longer articles of this sort; but care should be taken that in their caricature undergraduate opinion is reflected rather than distorted...
...open plays or kicks before the ends. Peirce played a very satisfactory all-around game. Of all the linemen, however, Parker and Kersburg were the most efficient, for while they were in the game the Dartmouth backs were unable to rush the ball through the line with any sort of consistency. Brock and Gilmore, the substitute guards, played a hard game, but lacked experience. Newhall put up his usual good game, and showed his ability at drop kicking to good advantage.

There has been no previous expedition of this sort from America, and the only work done in this region has been by the Germans.

"The Cruise of the Scholarship" is cleverly done, and the verse is excellent. "Victor and Vanquished" would be better were it not for a suggestion of those heroic bits in "Pieces for Recitation" which afford so much of the material for grammar school declamation...
