...touchdown. Inability to score. Harvard has paid but comparatively little attention to passing among the backs, each one playing an independent game, whereas the Princeton backs were always aiding one another when one had the ball. Harvard blocked and got through well, but the rushers did not always keep their minds on the game. The umpiring, too, was not reduced to that cold science noticeable in Mr. Connor...
...connection with the game on Saturday it is timely to say a few words with regard to the police. Never was there greater inefficiency displayed by any body of men detailed and exhorbitantly paid for light duty. All that was required of them was to keep the grounds ciear of non-paying spectators and to see that the audience did not encroach upon the limits of the playing field. What did they do ?

These essential qualities are, ability to sit up straight, which can only be acquired by constant care and exercise, also the power to keep the shoulders back firmly when the body is forward on the full reach. If an oarsman negligently allows himself to overreach, his hold upon the water when first dipping his oar will prove to be jerky, consequently destroying that uniform steady sweep which should characterize a Harvard crew. A firm...
