...long runs with the exception of one by Wurtemburg and one by McClung were made by Gill. Yale scored her only touchdown by a cleverly worked trick. With the ball in Yale's possession on Harvard's twenty-yard line three downs were made in succession. On the third, all the Yale players bunched together in the centre and McClung was put in the middle as if to be pushed ahead by sheer force for the requisite gain. He acted as quarterback however, and handed the ball to McBride who in turn passed it to Wurtemburg. He spurted...

In so slight a defeat there is no disgrace. It can safely be said that no Harvard eleven...
Asst. Professor Francke delivered, yesterday afternoon, the third of the series of introductory lectures on German literature. His subject was "Luther as a Writer." The history of the German people in the sixteenth century, said Professor Francke, was wonderfully strange and sad. At the beginning of the century Germany stood at the head of the movement for truth and light; at the end, the Catholic church was there, in the very home of Protestantism, slowly and surely gaining ground. The chief reason for this was that the question of reforming the church was becoming political. When Luther left the Diet...
