...toward one goal and now toward the other, as either side gained a slight advantage. At this time Harvard succeeded in gaining two touch-downs, but they were not allowed by the referee. A heavy fall of rain somewhat marred the playing of Harvard, who relied upon their constant passing. The playing of Britannia was fine as regards tackling, but in all other respects was much poorer than what we must expect from Yale and Princeton. Harvard's passing was good, the tackling and kicking fair. Among the visitors, Belcher, Millar, and Lowe played well. On our own team...

The electing of some eighteen or twenty hours a week up to the time of the semi-annuals, or later, and the constant changing from one course to another, are certainly injurious to the student himself, and are also a source of great annoyance at the office. As to the fact that it is impossible to obtain good marks under certain instructors, it would seem as if the proper way to avoid this...
