...early part of last week have become accustomed to their new seats and the eight as a whole is very much better together. On Wednesday all three eights went down-stream and and on the return row the work of the University crew was good. Thursday's row brought even better results and the eight showed the best form it has so far this year. The power in the boat is being used to better advantage, but the crew is still weak in getting away strongly and quickly at the catch, and lacks a hard drive clean through...
...goal line, and Stevens punted to O'Flaherty who ran from his own 43-yard line to Williams's 50-yard line. Williams was penalized for offside, and Frothingham ran 30 yards to Williams's 10-yard line. The Williams defence stiffened and took the ball on downs, even though a forward pass to L. D.

Even the account of the bold dash of Dr. Crook to the North Pole (now at last definitely located at Perkins Hall) though based on a joke never very funny and surely as old as the hall in question is undeniably amusing. As usual, the drawings are better than the other matter. The centre-page by Steel '11, is not only witty, but really refreshingly thoughtful...
...rowed 6 in his Freshman eight, showed-up well at 5, and he seems to have a good chance for Withington's place in the University crew. This crew seemed to be fairly well together in spite of the fact that the boat was not on a very even keel and the oars did not come out cleanly at the finish...
