...decided who were to be the winners. Harvard played a beautiful up hill game during the second half, and while the outcome was a great disappointment the whole college feels that the eleven played a game to be proud of. At no point in the contest did the men weaken and they kept up heart till time was called. The Harvard supporters cheered enthusiastically and let no opportunity go by for encouraging their players. The teams could hardly have been more evenly matched and the closeness of the score which indicates that only one scoring point was made...

Every sophomore would do himself a service by a careful perusal of this homily. "His First Experience" is an unpretentious detective reminiscence supposed to be narrated by an inspector. "How do You Live?" is pregnant with...
...eleven have had their hopes slightly dampened by the play of the team in the Wesleyan game, and the injury of Hodge, end rush, resulting therefrom. It is decidedly doubtful whether or not Hodge will be able to resume his place in the Harvard game. His loss will materially weaken the team, as his playing has been a decided improvement over last year. Riggs, a new man this year, has been filling his place the past few days and is doing well.
