Another characteristic was the intense interest aroused by every speaker and maintained throughout the debate by the exact knowledge of the subject shown on both teams, the perfect form of presentation of Harvard, and the convincing earnestness of Yale. In the rebuttals all these qualities were present and in addition to them a marvellous quickness in grasping and refuting arguments, together with a very unusual power of summing...
...Varsity crews rowed a time rail over the two mile course yesterday afternoon. The exact times were not given out but were fairly good. Wadsworth, who has been playing football with the second eleven, has been lately called out and is rowing 3 in J. H. Perkins's boat.

He added to these qualities a remarkable saneness of judgement. No theory, however...
...defense and in that she succeeded. The team and the College have then little to be proud of Harvard expects her men to rise to the occasion, to do better than their best when the crisis is reached. In this, the '97 football eleven has failed. The exact cause of the failure is immaterial. The main fact remains that the eleven did not win when the victory was almost, if not actually, in its hands. Now next Saturday will be the final game of the season, and in that game lies the chance to redeem Harvard's reputation. The team...
