...past few days of cold weather bring to mind the need of a place for skating during the winter. The ponds about Cambridge are free from snow during only a small part of the cold season, and even then they are so inaccessible that comparatively few men can afford to spend the time necessary to go to them. If on the other hand, a place were provided near by, and the lce kept in condition for skating the greater part of the winter, it is probable that as many students would engage in this form of exercise as take part...
...there can surely be no reasonable objection to giving nature the small amount of aid necessary to transform the lower part of Norton's Field into a pond. There was very fair skating on this field for several days last winter. Skating throughout the greater part of the cold weather may be assured merely by making provision for letting on enough water from time to time to form a thin sheet over the field; this would freeze in one night and renew the ice surface when it had become roughened by use or covered by snow. The expense certainly would...
...call attention to the second hare and hounds run which will take place this afternoon. About seventy men went on the first run and with a comparatively short run and good weather, it proved very satisfactory.

It is too early yet to lead a long, hard trail, and the run today will probably be about like the first. The excitement of the run will be very much increased if a large number of men take part, and those in charge hope that...
Owing to yesterday's wet weather and cloudy skies, the eleven had only about twenty minutes of practice. Most of the time the second eleven had the ball. The defense of the first was very good considering that both Mackie and Acton were laid off, the former on account of the death of a relative, the latter because of a lame back. Wilson and Laimbeer took their places. The first held the ball long enough to make one touchdown, though the sharp work of the second made this not the easiest task in the world. Waters played a while...
...candidates for the Yale University crew have commenced rowing on the harbor, and will continue every other day for a short time and then every day as long as the weather permits. The men who row are as follows: Johnson '94, S.; Rogers '94, S.; Longacre '95; Goetchius '95, S.; Kinney '96; Coonley '96; Beard '96; Smith '96; Knapp '96, and Dater...
