...first match, Roche defeated Beyer without much difficulty, by more skillful net play and better judgment in placing his strokes. Beyer played almost entirely in the middle of the court and, partly on account of his short reach, failed to smash successfully when the opportunity was given. In the Ward-Rotch match there was almost no rallying one or two strokes generally ending each play. As a consequence the playing consisted almost wholly in a back court game, where Ward's swift cuts were most effective. In the match with Derby there was more rallying and the playing was more...
...played a fast and consistent game. Campbell and Hallowell also were impregnable on the defense and entered into the offense with dash and spirit. They ran down the field under punts in perfect style. Although responsible for one or two of West Point's minor gains, J. Lawrence played better than he has at any time this season. He was cool and was not guilty of his old fault of offside play...

In Appleton Chapel this has been accomplished by placing two large fans in the basement, one of which is used to introduce a supply of fresh air through six large inlets in different parts of the building, and the other to draw off the bad air through registers placed under all the pews. The fans in the Chapel have been in operation on two Sunday evenings this year and have...

The explanations are familiar to most of us, but it must not be forgotten that the page is intended for Freshmen. "Some of our advocates for good roads" would be better placed in any other paper than the Lampoon where a collegiate air is perhaps essential. The pictures of the Yard on the nights of the Sophomore-Freshman rushes are executed with skill, especially the first one, and the small drawings could well be increased in number as they contain much...
Wesleyan played better football than any team Harvard has met this year. Her back-field was aggressive and the mass tackle plays were very well executed. Hartzell played a brilliant game at halfback and punted well. The ends, and especially S. Dodds, were successful in pocketing the Harvard tackles although a well formed interference sometimes put them out of the play...
