Team work was the ultimate factor which kept the Crimson slate clean, and to a lack of this essential must be attributed the failure of Coach Mansell's line to snap the puck home. During the closing minutes of play the Agricultural seven had a half-dozen chances to score which were spoiled by bunching-up and inability to maintain a passing game...
...gradually having its influence localized to New England. But if this be the case the statistics of this year's Freshman class afford no indication. The 900 students who this autumn came to Harvard for the first time represented no fewer than 43 states of the Union besides a half-dozen foreign countries. Young men who come from New England homes still form the biggest single factor in the entering class, but they do not constitute a substantial majority. This year the New Englanders numbered only 51 percent of the whole. Yet boys of New England residence are more numerous...
...this year the eleven has dozen more than this. Meeting Yale without a single defeat against them and with their goal line crossed only once, Capt. Murray and his men outgeneraled and outfought the Bulldog who generalship and fighting counted.

But in the crucial moments the University did not crash...
...course the receiver of these signals has an equally important, though less spectacular part to play. At the Stadium Mr. Frank E. Belliveau takes my signals. Mr. Belliveau interprets them and directs the half-dozen men who are stationed behind the score-board; they, in turn, set the various signs.

Each man has a certain thing to do, a certain part of the board to adjust. If he does the work...
...editorial is so like what the Transcript actually preaches--it is perhaps rather better written--as to suggest that it was contributed in all seriousness from the Transcript office. Excellent, too, is the life of General Edwards which may, one would hope, suppress the possible appearance of the half-dozen volumes of biography which seem destined to appear in defiance of sweet reasonableness. The Book Page is weak; but the Churchman Afield, particularly its notes, would not be despised by Mr. Leacock. The account of the War is in the Transcript's best manner, though it probably shows rather more...
