...Varsity defeated Wesleyan yesterday afternoon by the score of 34-0, in an uninteresting and one-sided game. Wesleyan was far from being the strong eleven that their recent scores indicated. They never kept the ball for any appreciable length of time and never forced the playing into Harvard's territory.

None of the stories are more than a few pages in length, yet each is a distinct and lasting picture...
