...would seem to be a matter of common courtesy and of loyalty to the football team that members of the University should refrain from attempting to watch the secret practice in the Stadium. Coaches and players have been annoyed during the past week by students, and others encouraged by their example, who have tried to see the practice from vantage points about the wooden fence and from favorable places near the Locker Building.

...University football team will play the University of Maine in the Stadium this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Maine team is considerably lighter than the Harvard team but is fast and has not been scored on in any of its games this season.

Merritt, quarterback on the second, ran his team well, and showed excellent judgment in his choice of plays. Logan, Deming, Philbin and Hyde did not enter the scrimmage. The regular coaching staff was augmented by McCormick, Stillman and Glass...
