...would be difficult to give a complete description of the excellent all-around work of the University team. For those who saw the game almost every member of the original eleven men and not a few of the substitutes stand out as participants in one or more exhibitions of the sort of football one likes to see. Perhaps the two most spectacular plays, Brown's brilliant scoring not excepted, were performed by Potter and Campbell, respectively. Recovering a fumble by Sprackling on Brown's 40-yard line, the Harvard halfback, aided by the sort of interference which continually defied...

Men marked (A) stand at the bottom of the steps, men marked (B) at the first entrance, men marked (C) at the upper entrance, and men marked (D) at the top of the promenade.

There are many of these in each class, the chief trouble being that they have no definite objective in their College lives. One must stand back from one's ideal to get a proper perspective of it.
