...valuations of the lights and shadows. The "Storm Clearing Off" is a good example of what can be done toward bringing out the effect of a mingling of clouds, rain and bog. In this picture the author has brought in a group of sheep which brings out the contrast of Nature with Life. Other pictures of mention are "Primrose Time," "A Nor' Easter," and "A Chat with the Miller...
...work of Kendall and Fincke was ragged. Again and again they attempted to pick up the ball on fumbles instead of dropping on it. These errors and frequent offsides gave the ball to Dartmouth at critical times, and prevented much scoring by Harvard. The whole eleven tackled poorly. In contrast to the other points of play, the punting was good. Hallowell's kicks in general were high and long, but nevertheless, he fumbled the ball twice when passed back to him by Sargent. Considering the conditions, Sargent's passing was very good...
Harvard's offense, in contrast to the defense, was full of faults, the most fatal of which was fumbling.

Attempts to correct this fault were made early in the season, and it is very discouraging to have it crop out now. The overeagerness of the forwards also cost Harvard the possession of the ball at critical times. Daly's generalship was open to criticism. He undoubtedly put dash into the team, and, as an individual player, was brilliant...
...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 Day and the other the Commencement issue...
...sonnet entitled "Contrast" by L. B. Buck '98, is remarkably good college versification. "Love that Passeth all Understanding" by J. B. Holden '99, shows a strange difference of mood between the story proper and the title. In a second colonial sketch, "An Act of Treason," C. S. Harper '99, imitates in a pleasing manner a form of story that is not uncommon...
