...freshmen played a strong game, kicking and tackling well. They fumbled the ball, however, too much, and the rushers had a tendency to drop the ball when tackled. As is usual at the beginning of each season, too much attention was given to individual playing. This fault, however, will be remedied by a little more practice. Holden and Porter played very well. Fargo made a number of fine rushes, but he was apt to drop the ball when it was passed to him. In the rush line, Hurd, Woodman, and Bancroft, were conspicuous for their steady work. The best work...

...success of the hall depends to no small extent on the members themselves. The two things that have hurt the hall more, perhaps, than any others have been a failure on the part of members to make just complaints, and indiscriminate fault-finding. At $4.25 a week personal supervision cannot extend to the food and service of 720 boarders, and a member can do the management no greater favor than to report at once and fairly, any just cause for complaint. But unreason-fault-finding merely spoils the waiters and sets every one on edge...

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON :-I have read with interest your editorial of this morning (Tuesday), on the subject of the tennis courts.

...second start. hazard, '85, was master of hounds and after the seven minutes of allowance was up he led off a pack of 19 hounds. The course led over the iron bars between Harvard and Hollis on to the Common. Here the hounds were soon at fault, for mischievous boys had taken up some of the plentiful paper scent and marked out a false track toward Christ Church and into a neighboring yard. After several minutes of precious time had been wasted in investigating this trick, the hounds once more took up the scent on Concord Avenue to the Arsenal...

...sent to mostly every undergraduate last spring, soliciting subscriptions but two-thirds of these were never returned. One man returned three, without his name upon them, as a joke. If every man would come forward and subscribe, if not $5, at least $2, $1 or even 50 cents, no fault could be found. The subscription table enclosed will afford information as to the number and the distribution of subscriptions, so I will not enroach further upon your space. Permit me through your columns to thank Messrs. Minot and W. R. Wilson, '86, who so kindly assisted me last year; also...
