...should again be called to the fact that Dane Hall is not the place for so large a course as Fine Arts 4. As has been said before the room is badly planned, badly ventilated, and very poorly adapted for seating so large a body of men. Many men whose names begin with the last letters of the alphabet have seats where it is impossible to catch enough of what the lecturer says to follow his thought. The inevitable consequence is that the men grow tired and restless, and toward the end of the hour make more or less disturbance...
...criss-cross trick. The centre men played a poor defensive game, and especially during the early part of the game, the visitors had no trouble in forcing their way through. Harvard's tackles played a good, steady game; they were the only men in the rush line whose worked seemed thoroughly effective all through the game. The backs all did well. Gage is improving at quarter back, in both tackling and following the ball. Gray played a very plucky half back game, while Lake's and Trafford's work is both brilliant and reliable...
...only fiction of the number, "The Three John Briggses," has a certain originality of conception. It deals with the case of a fellow whose father wished him to go to Yale and who got out of the difficulty by sending a substitute to Yale and going himself to Harvard. His father visits him at the critical time of a Harvard-Princeton game, discovers the deception, but shows the usual leniency. Much of the action of the story is very natural, but there are one or two slips of construction and word-improprieties which are the effect of the whole...
...judge anything of the senior class eleven from watching their play yesterday, we should say that they are sadly in want of a captain. This is without the slightest disrespect towards the present captain, whose valuable services are required with the 'varsity squad. We have no doubt that it is hard for him to appoint a substitute; and it may be equally hard for the eleven to choose a successor. But however difficult the problem, Ninety two should find some way to settle matters very speedily and get one man to direct their foot ball work both...
...played at snap back, very frequently tried to form his men into a wedge on the ordinary down, but he did not gain much by it. For almost all his effective rushing, though his tackles gained some ground with the ball, he had to rely on half back Jackson, whose play all around was as skillful as any on the field. Amherst kicked the ball only once, and preferred to lose it on four downs than to trust to a punt...
