...professional can defeat the amateur every time, such as baseball, rowing, and track athletics. When Yale employed Mr. Lush Harvard had a long string of baseball victories to her credit; yet in one season, Mr. Lush turned out a nine from poor material which defeated a Harvard nine of veteran calibre, coached under an amateur system. The converse, nearly, is true in rowing, though Mr. Wray had even a more difficult task, because he had to oppose a professional system of marked success. Yet Mr. Wray's success here and his superiority over his amateur predecessors is unquestioned. Track...
Samuel Hoar '67, a Fellow of Harvard College, general counsel for the Boston and Albany railroad, a veteran of the Civil War, and one of the leading lawyers of the State, died of cerebral hemorrhage, with paralysis, at his home in Concord yesterday morning. He had been ill just two weeks...
...that note touched me very much. It expressed the youth's feeling at the sight of the veteran in a conflict into which the youth is going,--where the veteran has long been.

Marshall at guard is slow to action, but when started is powerful and aggressive. Parkinson at centre is energetic and strong, but plays too high for his position. LeMoyne is new at guard and while willing and hard-working is not experienced...
...Pennsylvania football season opened this year with a lack of veteran material, and at the present time the regular line-up contains but three of last year's eleven--Metzgar, end, McCabe, centre, and Piekarkski, guard. In spite of this lack of experienced players, however, the team has developed steadily, and, until the game with Columbia, in which the latter scored 18 points to Pennsylvania's 6, gave promise of becoming a championship team. In the early part of the season Pennsylvania defeated a number of the smaller teams by large scores and on October 17 won from Brown...
