...Alumni Civic Service Committee, which is asking the Seniors to register with it at their election today, represents at Harvard one of the most noteworthy of recent developments in the social service movement. The colleges have for some time been taking an important part in this movement through local agencies such as Phillips Brooks House; but all college men do not enter the work and many of those who do lose interest after being cut off from their undergraduate organizations.

The new men who have been added to the squad from time to time have made it almost impossible to develop team-work, and only recently has the team displayed anything like finished form. In the last two games there has been some good work, the weak point being shooting, which can easily be improved in the spring...
