...going on, the ball was down on their five yard line. Work was very sharp for the next few minutes, but at last Harvard secured the ball and sending it out to Willard scored a goal from the field by his very pretty drop kick. At this very favorable turn of affairs Harvard did not attempt to conceal her enthusiasm, and Willard's name was cheered time and again. Yale was not disheartened, however, by this set back and from their kick-off forced the ball well up the field, but our half-backs were ready for them, and good...
...been the noticeable practice of some students to take the time in the bath rooms of the gymnasium to undress and dress. Though it is doubtless thoughtlessly done, yet happening so often in the crowded part of the afternoon, when three or four are waiting for a turn, it seems quite inexcusable. If students would only do the greater part of their disrobing in the dressing rooms, they would of course considerably diminish the amount of time spent in the bath room, and greatly convenience those who are waiting for a turn...

Some special courses of reading as fiction or biography, followed out during a whole lerm or year, will probably give the best results, but few of us possess such a methodical turn of mind that we care to keep in the same rut very long at a time.

Hull, Knapp and Bacon were not present, while Rechards and Terry had apparently entirely recovered from their recent injuries.

Harvard had the kich-off and at the word of Mr. Peace the referee opined the game. Nervousness was apparent among our backs at the start and several bad plays brought the ball gradually...
...second three-quarters our men started out with a very strong game, the rushers passed and tackled well, and the half-backs seemed to have got over all nervousness, meeting Yale with run for run and kich for kich, gaining at every turn. Suddenly, however, Yale changed her tacties and Terry was off with the ball, rushing almost to our ten yard line. In the confusion that followed, Hyndman secured the ball and slid over the linc, making a touchdown for Yale, from which Terry kicked the second goal. This made Harvard more careful, and she played a steadier game...
