...score of 6 to 0. From being regarded as practice, the game quickly took on the aspect of a real contest, and when the first half ended with the score 0 to 0, the situation appeared serious. A poorer exhibition of football would not be pleasant to imagine; and worst of all, it proved again that the University eleven has failed to better its playing under three weeks of efficient coaching. Every fault that the team has shown this fall cropped out in yesterday's game, and the wonder of it all is that the team ever pulled together enough...

...principal weakness of the Harvard team was in the guard positions where Hovey and Shea by playing too high were unable to make holes for the backs and to stop the Bowdoin attack. Graydon made some good gains but his fumbling was the worst feature of the game; he also failed to prevent the opponents' backs from hurdling the line. Jones's playing at left end was encouraging but in getting down under punts he several times over-ran his man. Marshall gave indications of the return of his last year's ability and throughout the game, until relieved near...

...watch on every man in the Library and to enforce the leaving of coats, bags, etc., outside would probably be an effective means.

These, however, are only the disagreeable consequences of allowing thieves access to the club...

That the process was not perfectly performed is sufficiently proven by the indisputable fact that a member of the Corporation, one of the most eminent and respected graduates of Harvard College, received one of the worst seats on the whole field. Imagine, if you can, a gentleman offering the use of his grounds for a tennis tournament, without being tendered a special and honored place! Yet the members of the Corporation are as trustees the owners of Soldiers Field: it is only by their consent that the grounds can be enclosed and entrance fees charged. As a matter of fact...

...situation must be made without much help from the official figures. Let us consider, nevertheless, as well as we may the distribution of seats in the south stand. I am told by Mr. Schweppe that in this section there were more than 11,500 seats. Some of the very worst seats in the corners of this section were drawn upon regular undergraduate applications. Now the to all number of seats assigned to under graduates may be found by adding items, three, four, five and six in the above report, and is 7,949. Assuming that all these seats were...
