...backfield was made up entirely of new men, who, as might have been expected, were uncertain and did not display much team work, although they played hard and ran fairly well. The plays were all simple with the exception of two forward passes, and the lack of variety did not give them a chance to show their real ability. The defense used during yesterday's game, four men in the line and the ends playing out, was moderately successful, but was hardly given a fair trial...
Browne at quarterback did good work and handled the ball well, especially on the forward passes. Cutler, who took his place in the last half, ran the team in good shape and helped the runners. Smith at halfback, although slow and uncertain, was a good ground gainer and kept his feet.

Predictions on the outcome of a baseball game are energies misdirected. The result of the first game of the Yale series today is as uncertain as anything could be. Yale has played excellent baseball in its recent games and has proved a better hitting team throughout the season than the University nine. Since the second Brown game, Harvard has played remarkable ball except against Holy Cross last Saturday, when neither team lived up to its reputation and Harvard won the game on their opponents' errors...

Concerning such modification, the student may best consult the chairman of the Division in which he thus thinks of specializing. (See Catalogue, p. 315). Should he be uncertain what division to choose, I shall be glad to give him all the help in my power. As Chairman of the Committee on Degrees with Distinction in History and Literature, I have had much experience in general advice about all degrees with distinction. I shall welcome any one who would like...
