...five players on whom, as a base, the new Harvard eleven has had to be constructed. They are all showing the same excellent playing that distinguished their work last season and with good support would help to form an unusually strong team. The new members, however, are slow to learn their parts, and as none in particular have displayed especial promise it is still undecided what men will occupy the vacant positions on the team.

In an article on the Cooperative society, Prof. J. H.
