...summoned up enough energy to hold a meeting in Holden Chapel. The lethargy shown by the association so far this fall might lead one to believe that the lacrosse interests of the college were dead. Harvard lost the championship last year, and from the present outlook bids fair to distinguish itself in the same way next spring. However, an important move was made in the election of a captain for the team. We hope that he will infuse a little more vigor into the team and make the men trying for the team begin practice at once. The Princeton team...
...only drove the sophomores back but carried on decidedly vigorous offensive tactics. The sophomores, surprised by this burst of energy, fell back and reformed their line.

The work of repairing has been rendered...
...members will go to the "meet" of the American Canoe Association, which takes place this year at Lake George. Canoeists from all over the country assemble at one large camp and live together for several weeks. Many races take place there, and Harvard will now have a chance to distinguish herself in another field...
