Hallowell and Campbell will both be back next year. They are the best pair of ends Harvard has ever had. Both of the substitutes, Hawkins and Ristine, will also return. Daly and Fincke, quarterbacks, have one more year in College. Who will play the other back positions seems likely to cause doubt as this fall. Kendall and Gierasch have two more years in College and Sawin one. For fullback there will be a hard contest between Reid and Ellis, both of whom graduate in 1901. A possible third man is Stillman, the Freshman, whose punting is of a high order...
...general, this year's strong defense will be broken up by the loss of the three best linemen. Of course with suitable material, Coach Lewis can build up another defense, but from the present outlook, the team, and especially the line, will be lighter than this year. On the offense, no serious loss will be felt. In punting also, with Reid and Hallowell still in College, the only change can be a gain. With the lessons of this season in mind, it is safe to say that the gain will be a decided...
...Harvard, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia and New York University, to take steps toward forming an intercollegiate gymnastic association. In order to choose the Harvard representatives for the intercollegiate competition, which will be held at New York in March, a preliminary competition will be held, at which the two best men in each event will be selected. In addition an exhibition will be given in the Gymnasium during the winter, and a dual meet with Yale or Columbia may be arranged...
...current number of the Advocate is by far the best that has been issued this year. It contains fewer pieces than the typical number; but its stores, poems and editorials are all good. The leading contributions, long, carefully arranged and artistically written stories, are a happy exchange for the usual expanded daily themes. "Counterfeiting," by A. H. Gilbert '01, is an ingenuous and amusing little sketch of a somewhat conventional sort. The Hon. Jack Castleton, a shy, weak youth of the "gilded set" and the educated valet are familiar figures; but the writer puts them through their parts with skill...
This year's Harvard team has been selected from a very large squad, and has not been handicapped by having any of its best players taken on the 'Varsity squad. Owing to the unusually long season, the development has necessarily been slow. Since the game, however, with the U. of P. freshmen Nov. 4, steady improvement has been shown, especially through the secret practice of this last week. A strong defense has been developed, and the offense, though ragged at times, has been made very effective. As a result, moreover, of the continued and persistent coaching of J. L. Knox...
