...Moore's "A Pack of Cards" lumbers heavily over a comedy situation, with inadequate characterization and conventional dialogue. "Me and Her" goes to the other extreme, being rather cleverly written about little or nothing. The reader, however, becomes weary of the coquettish parentheses addressed to him. "The Spectators" is weak description wherein exaggeration does duty as humor...
...eight. Technology cam second with a score of 88, followed by Michigan with 112, and Yale with 114. Dartmouth, which entered a team for the first time, unexpectedly finished fifth with 123 points. The scores of the other teams were: Syracuse 143, Pennsylvania 183, Columbia 232, Princeton 234. The weak showing of Pennsylvania may be partly accounted for by Paull's absence...
...plays were very frequent. The game was hard-fought from beginning to end, Harvard excelling in the straight rushing, while Yale entirely offset this by excellent judgement and punting. O'Flaherty, the Harvard quarterback, did not appear to drive the team with the best of judgment; he was very weak in handling punts, and at times failed to take advantage of his opponents' mistakes. Wigglesworth, when he replaced O'Flaherty, seemed able to run his team far more accurately and effectively. The Yale team however, deserved to win; the game was won by generalship, just as that played a year...
...Freshman football team practice yesterday consisted in a blackboard talk, a drill in formations and plays against the substitutes in which particular attention was paid to forming interference around the runner, and punting to the backfield. The backs were very weak in catching punts, Wendell being especially uncertain in this department. FIRST TEAM. SECOND TEAM. Browne, Houston, l.e. r.e., Whitney McKay, Bush, l.t. r.t., Davis L. Withington, l.g. r.g., Blake P. Withington, c. c., Barber Fisher, r.g. l.g., Knapp Fish, r.t. l.t., Coburn L. D.

...latter on Harvard's 3-yard line. It was his work which made both Worcester's scores possible. Kelley and Wilson made several end runs for 20-yard gains. Lewis and Carr did the best work for the Freshmen. The former gained consistently through Worcester's left guard, the weak place in the Worcester line, and the latter recovered a short forward pass from Gardner for the Freshmen's only score. Felton out-kicked Kelley, but this advantage was more than offset by Melican's ability to regain Kelley's kicks...
