...pitchers of the visiting nines. The poor fielding yesterday is not significant, for the radical change in the make-up of a team is generally accompanied at first by loose playing. What lost us the game, however, was Harvard's seeming inability to bat. It is this fault which is really the serious one. This year above all others the Harvard nine, to be victorious, must in some way strengthen themselves in this particular weakness. Yale refuses to play us a third game and so there is but one thing to do and that is to beat her both here...
...high tone that the Advocate editorials have hitherto had. In several instances there is evidence of lack of grasp of the subject, a flippancy of tone that is unbecoming and a general character foreign to good advocate editorials. It were best for the writers to recognize that the fault they find with the plays of the Theatre of Arts and Letters - that the authors "thought to write a play offhand" - is to be avoided also in Advocate editorials...
...Indefinite She" and "A Story of Pierrot" are the best stories in the number. Both are the "suggestive" type that is becoming more common in writing to-day.

It is well written and if the author can find more original plots he promises to become an interesting writer...

It has been the fault of the college, rather than of the committee, that the meetings in the past have not been more of a success. If this experience of persuading men to enter the boxing and wrestling events to make a contest must be repeated year after year, it is simply a question of a very short time when the first Winter Meeting will have to be dropped from...
...religion and morality differ and the idea causes much forced religion. Satan is our personal enemy and pledged to destroy us; this we must keep in mind. He hates us because humanity represents God. There is also a tendency to attribute all evil to influences; this is a dangerous fault. In fighting temptation one must remember the immense power of Satan. Above all things we should learn obedience. Christ was not tempted in the wilderness because God had not willed that this should be the time that Christ should prove his power. Christ is the only man whose life...
