...almost as bad. Frequently there is no ball at hand, and a wooden block has to be substituted with very unsatisfactory results; and sometimes the ice is suitable for skating several days before it becomes generally known about college. Now, would it not be a good scheme to start a hockey club? There need be no elaborate organization; the dues should be nominal, merely enough to keep a supply of balls. The club would be notified through the CRIMSON every day when there is skating, and a good game would thus be assured. I think that many...
...regulations against professionals, which the faculty persist in enforcing. If our team of this year could be allowed to practice with professional teams we would at least stand on an even footing with Yale, but without this practice, which the Yale team has, we are handicapped from the start.

...BALDWIN.PIERIAN SODALITY.- The two barges for Wellesley will leave Bartlett's at 4.45 this afternoon. Men must get dinner before starting or else carry sandwiches, etc., with them.

Canoeing is an easy and pleasant form of exercise and deserves to be as popular as bicycling. Here in Harvard more than a dozen canoes are already owned, while thirty-two new members have been elected into the club...
However this may be, it touches the honor of every man in the University to come forward now and by subscriptions pay off the amount outstanding, so that this year's management may start with a squared account. We trust that we shall hear that the sum needed will be paid off in the course of a very few weeks. But then a fresh and healthier start must be made...
