...playing of the Harvard team, while it showed considerable improvement over Wednesday's game with Andover, was still ragged, and the rovers altogether outclassed Harvard in Team-play. The Harvard forwards were at fault in trying to kick the ball too much, instead of holding it and passing accurately. It was a case of strategy and a thorough knowledge of the game being victorious over superior wind and strength...
...University team had practically no difficulty in winning, the new material was given a try-out. It was not until the Williams game, in which the Harvard team was outplayed during the first half, that the real test came. In this game fumbling, which has been the chief fault, was very evident, while, on the other hand, Minot's terrific line-plunging, the main strength of this year's eleven as an offensive machine, was decisively exemplified. Since the Williams game, however, the coaches have devoted a great deal of time to the correction of fumbling, especially in the backfield...

But when the same complaint is heard year after year against the same group of courses we feel justified in taking account of it. The conditions with which we find fault prevail in the marking system used in two or three courses in elementary engineering, taken by a large number of men, in which mechanical drawing forms the principal part of the work. Instead of marking the drawings by some common standard intelligible to the students, the instructors in these courses indicate...
...steer a balloon were practically unsuccessful until 1884. Since then many types have been invented, all having the general shape of a fish, the most notable of which is that invented by Zeppelin. They have been brought to a great degree of perfection but have the one great fault that they are practically useless in a high wind...
