Harry Bevier Kirtland '01, of Plymouth, O., entered Harvard from the Hale School of Boston. Last year he was on the Sophomore debating team which defeated the Freshmen in the interclass debate and was one of the last fourteen men retained at the trials for the Princeton debate. At the trials for tonight's debate he was awarded the Coolidge Debating Prize. Kirtland is vice president of the Junior Wranglers...
...halfback. Palmer and Reiter are post graduate students and will probably not play again, and Edwards, Booth, Hillebrand, Poe and Wheeler are in the senior class. This leaves a nucleus of four men for the team next year. Losey '03, who played a strong game at centre for the freshmen, will be a promising candidate for the university team next year.

Right tackle will probably be filled by Sheffield '02 or Hale '02, both of whom have been doing good work...

A succession of line plays resulted in a touchdown by Derby, Yale again making a short but ineffectual stand on the five yard line...

Owing to the unusually long season, the development has necessarily been slow. Since the game, however, with the U. of P. freshmen Nov. 4, steady improvement has been shown, especially through the secret practice of this last week. A strong defense has been developed, and the offense, though ragged at times, has been made very effective. As a result, moreover, of the continued and persistent coaching of J. L. Knox 2L., the team...
