...showed better form in certain particulars than '92. Their blocking off was much better done, the men seeming to know their places better. There were only about 17 men out so that a strong line could not be placed against the team. A good deal of time was spent on following the tall on a kick. Not enough quickness was shown in this by any of the men. They did not watch the ball enough but kept their eyes too much on the man who was to catch it. Here also is a chance for better team work...
...Dolorosa," by William Vaughn Moody '93, marks, we believe, its author's first appearance in the extra-collegiate magazine field. It is, on the whole, the strongest piece of poetical work which Mr. Moody has published and is happily free from the vagueness with which certain of his former poems have been dashed.

...will be seen by this that an over whelming majority of the men, nearly two-thirds of the whole class, come from Massachusetts. As the above list is somewhat incomplete, it is hardly safe to draw conclusions as to Harvard's home support as compared with last year. Certain it is, however, that very few of the men in the freshman class come from outside New England and New York. Of a total of about 370, but 48 come from west of New York. and only 9 from south of Washington...
