After a ten minutes' rest the second half of the game began, the Canadians having the kick-off this time. This half of the game was characterized by some magnificent playing on the part of the Canadians. The beautiful runs of Perram and Taylor, and the kicks of Wilmot and Scriver, were duly appreciated by the spectators. Nor were the Harvards lax in their endeavors to increase their score, though their play as a whole was not so brilliant as in the first half of the game. Herrick made a fine diagonal run, gaining half the length of the field...
HARVARD vs. McGILL.A game was to have been played between the two colleges some time in November, at Cambridge, but Captain Whiting was asked if, through courtesy, he would play in Montreal, and it was decided to play at half past ten, Monday morning.

We are soon to become participants in a world which shows no favor, and it would be well to have a definite idea of, and an adequate training...
...mere truism. Of this we may be sure, that in the long run hard work will tell against liberal advantages. Harvard men are now judged in the outside world by their catalogue and list of electives; and their agreeable manners serve to heighten the favorable impression. But in time the artificiality and unfitness for real life of most Harvard men will be discovered by all, as it has been discovered by the gentleman of whom I have spoken. For the credit of our Alma Mater, therefore, may we show more respect for "digs" and, if possible, become imbued with...
