...injury to Captain Fish has been the subject of much comment since the Dartmouth game. Although examination has showed that no bones were broken and that injury to the lungs did not occur, the shock to the nervous system from the hard blow in the solar plexus was very great. No official statement has been given out as to whether Fish will be able to get into the game tomorrow; if he does the chances are that he will not be able to play through, and that the effectiveness of his playing will be lessened by the injury...
...work of the crews this morning was very light as a strong northwest wind was blowing. The two eights and fours went across to the west shore and worked out over the last half-mile of the course. The University eight went over the half-mile in 2 minutes and 27 seconds, rowing about 38 for the whole distance. All the orders were regular.

...Yard Dormitories." The argument is convincing that these dormitories are not what they should be. Of course they are habitable; at times they are even delightfully comfortable, but we, as Harvard undergraduates, are not proud of them, nor are we content with them. We do not wish to blow up our Gymnasium, but we do wish to see it superseded, just as we wish to see our College dormitories modernized...
