...football team will play Bowdoin on Soldiers Field at 3 o' clock this afternoon. Last year Bowdoin held Harvard down to thirteen points, and as that team is much stronger this year Harvard will have to play hard to win. Bowdoin has five veterans on the team, and several very good new men; but will be weakened greatly by the absence of Kelley, the left end, who has been injured in practice...
...charging, and Hollingsworth and Barnard were more successful than usual in opening holes. Farley had to retire early in the game with an injured ankle, but while he played he did fairly well.

Riggs, who was put at right guard...

Youth abounds in those qualities which are essential to this--that is, a sense of humor, unfailing sympathy, and faith. Hard it undoubtedly is to live almost wholly in what the future may bring. Much of the life about us seems vain and useless, and cannot help but be discouraging. Yet at heart the world is really hopeful, and the power to aspire remains with us long after we seem to have lost all ambition...
