...game today on Soldiers Field. For months both elevens have been preparing for this game and for one of them it will close the season. Harvard has been more successful than Yale in the preliminary season and the problem has been to choose an eleven from exceptionally good material rather than to break in new men, as Yale has been compelled to do. Five out of the seven men in Harvard's line played in last year's Yale game, and two of the backs have replaced men who were on the team last year. The great delay in choosing...
...wish to go to Soldiers Field on Saturday, to see an exhibition of manly sport, or to attend a musical festival. If the visitors from New Haven deem it a good opportunity to display their vocal talent, is that necessarily a reason why we should do likewise?

The backs run slowly and interfere high and the linemen fail to open holes cleanly and at the proper time. The plays are slow and loose and lack the force which would exist if every...
...protest through your columns about the way in which the placard-boards of the University buildings are being used or rather mis-used? What is the average condition of the boards? They are covered from one week's end to another with the flaring advertisements of private firms. If a student, a team, or a society wishes to post an announcement, the notice can of course be added to an existing accumulation. But what good is the notice if an hour later it is to be buried under Smith, Jones & Co.'s unparalleled offer in the clothing line...
