...Neither Southard nor Arensberg, who composed last year's winning team, has come out this year. The absence of Southard makes the tournament closer and more interesting than it has been for several years. His playing was far above the average, as is shown by the fact that he won twenty-two games in succession for Harvard. Catchings, the president of the Chess Club, was substitute on the team last year and also played in the international match. Perry, who won the fall tournament, played on the Worcester Academy team last year, and has made a good showing against prominent...
...analysis of the subject and their rebuttal was particularly good. For Worcester, J. T. Madden, W. E. Prince, and F. J. Rooney based their arguments on England's claim to suzerainty and her right to demand a reduction of the franchise requirements. The Freshmen showed that Great Britain had neither special rights under the conventions nor general rights in international law to interfere, and that the Transvaal was willing to make some concessions.

Disappointing and unsatisfactory as the result was from one point of view, it was, for the spectator, the finest football game ever played. Under ideal conditions of weather and grounds with the attendance of the largest crowd ever assembled on Soldiers Field or on any football field, the elevens of the two oldest and best universities in the country, in perfect physical condition, struggled two hours for the collegiate championship, and finally each gave up, without victory and yet unbeaten. The Harvard eleven had fought their...
...tribute to the skill of Coach Lewis. Sargent made up for the absence of Boal, and played his position well. Hale handled Burnett remarkably well in spite of his light weight and of his short experience in the position. Brown and Burden were very closely matched and neither had any permanent advantage. Both lines played unostentatiously but effectively as is shown in the fact that there was no scoring...
