While the interest in class football this year has been fairly good in comparison with other years, it is by no means good enough. Where there have been men enough for two full teams for each class there should have been four and five teams. When we are providing healthy exercise and recreation for men on such a scale, we are beginning-to approach the ideal where all men will accept the chance to strengthen their bodies in good, wholesome games and develop a competitive spirit by measuring their ability with others. When we have twice the number...
...defect in our rowing system, one that was no- ticeable for a dozen years; and more important than this, they really enjoyed their practice on the river and showed thereby that victory could be gained without straining to the very point of exhaustion. There could be no more striking comparison than that between the athletic sports in the University in 1869 and at the present day. Then there was only one real sport; rowing and baseball were crude and undeveloped. The great changes that have come about are due to the kindness of our graduates, and especially...

Last Saturday, they defeated Annapolis sixteen to six but this affords little basis for comparison as all their points were made by field goals. However, these same goals score points and when a team becomes as remarkably proficient in this respect as Carlisle, with two brilliant kickers in the line-up, the only safe way to preserve a clean slate is to keep them...
...backfield--two of the essential rudiments--Annapolis was much superior. The Harvard backfield lacked concentrated power and was only effective at brief intervals, never getting the ball dangerously close to the line by rushing. All of which goes to show the relative strength of the team today in comparison with a strong team. We should be grateful for a tie score under the circumstances...
