...University eleven defeated Wesleyan Saturday afternoon by the score of 20 to 0. Fifteen and ten minute halves were played. The victory showed unlooked for strength on the part of the substitutes behind the line, but was attended by some serious faults. The twenty points Harvard was able to score were gained more by brilliant individual work by the half-backs than by any superiority in team-work. At times the Wesleyan backs made long gains through the line and especially through the tackles which are still the weakest points in the line...
...whose injuries have been keeping them out of the practice lately, Eaton, Daly and Campbell will be back in the game on Monday. Although Reid will not be allowed to play for some time yet, the injury to his leg is not so serious as was first supposed. Hurley, whose brilliant rushing will be much missed by the second eleven, sprained his ankle in the last play yesterday. The players, on the whole, are, however, passing that period in training when they are susceptible to injuries, and should soon be able to play longer and harder halves, and then...
Professor Pierce spoke of the great advantages the Graduate School possesses in having, as its students, men who come with the predominant and absorbing idea of hard work.

In closing, Professor Pierce extended a warm welcome to all new-comers...
Owing to injuries, more or less serious, a large number of the first eleven are taking only a small share in the regular daily practice. Eaton is still troubled with water on the knee,--the result of an injury in the Williams game. C. Sargent hurt his shoulder slightly yesterday and gave place to Burnett. Swain, who is still far below his old standard, was also taken out, as a result of a sharp blow back of the head. Reid wrenched some muscles in his leg and retired in favor of Sawin. With Burden, Daly and Eaton...
...most amusing picture in the number is number of five the series "As Others see Us." The takeoff on Rattle at the Riverside Recreation Grounds is good, and the letter describing the drill at the "Sand Oldbonio" is cleverly patterned on the original. "An Everyday Fable" is rather more serious than ordinary Lampoon fiction. The short jokes in the number are very poor, in marked contrast to the longer articles. Many of these witticisms savor of old age, a failing which should be carefully avoided. Two more numbers of the Lampoon are yet to appear-one the Class...
