Within the English colleges as distinct from the universities, the coaching is done largely by undergraduates. There are certain exceptions: in rowing, for instance, a former Blue often guides the first boat through the final stages of its preparation for the inter-college races, and the dons occasionally lend a hand in coaching this or that athletic group. But in the selection and management of all college teams the captain's authority is final, and the bulk of the coaching is done by the more experienced men under the direction of the captain. I have heard participants in several sports...
...know what will happen; it's simply that I hate to dish old friends like Arnie Horween and Mal Stevens. Now these--two boys seem to think that if I would keep quiet they could decide it between themselves. I am willing to humor them to a certain extent: I even arranged to referee a duel at twenty paces with snow balls early this morning, but Mal said he didn't like snow balls, so I had to give that idea up.

Some time in 1927, a certain individual who preferred to be known to the world at large as "Anonymous Alumnus" (it is rumored that Mr. Bingham and a certain select group really do know who this gentleman is) offered the Harvard Athletic Association $350,000 for an athletic building with the proviso that the University raise the rest of the funds necessary for its completion.

And still Mr. Bingham, try as he may is unable to establish the identity of the two Harvard benefactors. A certain similarity in the letters signed by these two "anonyml", however, has lead the Director of Athletics to believe that they are one and the same. Further than that, he has not been able to probe...
...fill the street from curb to curb old men and young men, girls of '89 and '29 jostle one another with that unconcern born of a singleness of purpose and a forgetting of time and space. For over thirty years some of these men have strode along on a certain. November afternoon to witness John Harvard and the Bull Dog play their game, not only for supremacy in strength, but supremacy, in sportsmanship. Others are in the flush of expectation that comes from the first experience. Across the Lars Anderson Bridge the crowd pours like sparkling champagne down the stem...
