...both very reliable at the position. Lanigan is playing a good game at third base and his batting is better now than it was at the opening of the season. Marshall and Carr had an even competition for shortstop, and Marshall has won out by his cleaner fielding, though he is weak at the bat. Young has caught very well through the season, but in the last few games has shown the strain that the position makes on a man of light weight. Reeves or Brown may have to relieve him in the final games...
...find under the departmental notes. "From a Graduates' Window" comments with not wholly fortunate jocosity on the growing cosmopolitanism of Harvard. Mr. Holman's account of "Living Harvards and their family records" is sufficiently entertaining; and it is interesting to know that the name is still borne by relatives, though not descendants, of John Harvard himself. The author of the description of the Lampoon building fairly swells with pride as he enumerates the treasures concealed within its walls. His essay reads like the catalogue of an art museum, and is about equally effective as description. Professor Royce's short speech...
Yesterday morning the aeroplane was taken from the garage to Soldiers Field, where it will be housed under a tent erected behind the baseball stands.

It was decided, therefore, to make a trial of the engine, and with Martin in the pilot's seat the machine went four times the length of the field under its own power...
...aeroplane got under way faster than an automobile, and though the longest distance covered was not over 400 yards, it attained the speed of 20 miles an hour within 100 yards, in spite of the fact that, owing to the restricted area, it was necessary to shut off power before the machine got fairly started. The engine, which is a four-cylinder, 30-horse power Cameron, behaved well, driving the propeller at 1200 revolutions per minute and developing a thrust of 180 pounds, which is much more than enough to drive the machine...
...Aeronautical Society's new biplane the "Harvard I," has been completed and it will be taken down to Soldiers Field this morning, though no flight will be made today. It is likely that a flight will be attempted the first morning during the week that the weather is favorable. J. V. Martin nC., the manager of the Harvard Aeronautical Society and the recently elected second vice-president of the American Aeronautical Association, will be the aviator. Members of the society will be welcome at the flight...
