...looking over the number of names entered for Memorial Hall next year, we were surprised at seeing no more than a hundred. We attributed this lack of interest to a state of doubt on the part of some students as to whether the fare at four dollars a head would be satisfactory. There is no positive need that four dollars should be the limit of board. An arrangement might be made to supply extra dishes at so much a head to tables wishing them.

Indeed, in the last half-hour, one of the Harvard players had excited the spectators to the utmost with the hope that he was about to gain a long-wished-for "touch-down...
