Harvard was defeated by Haverford Saturday on Soldiers Field by the score of 99 to 101 not out. The game was played in a drizzling rain which became harder as the game progressed, softening the ground enough to affect the bowling considerably. Harvard's bowling suffered more from this than Haverford's, but there were other causes which contributed to the outcome. Haverford's bowling was swift, accurate and effective and their batting was very reliable. Harvard fielded miserably, but this was partly due to the slippery condition of the field...
...School race. The weather conditions were not very favorable and the times of all the races were slow. In the race of the Junior crews the Newell coxswain allowed his boat to drift into the Weld course, causing a foul.

This decision may be protested by the Weld crew and if the protest is sustained, both crews will enter the class races on Thurday...

In case of a run being made from this play not more than fifteen yards from the spot where the foul was committed shall be allowed." Why limit B's gain because A is off-side...
...distances we are discussing appear vastly more important when it is remembered that very shortly we shall depend for transit on an elevated railway, which will have one station at Harvard or Brattle square, another at Putnam square, and none between. This will affect students as they come and go from Boston. A club requiring a third of a mile walk will not be a natural stopping place for students coming from town, nor will it be convenient to graduates who have attended a game at Soldiers Field; these will think twice before they walk the required distance...
