...meet the peculiar conditions of South African government. For Exeter, R. R. Alexander, L. Grilk, and J. F. Dore maintained that England's intervention is not justifiable because she is prohibited from intervening by both convention and precedent. The rebuttal did not materially affect either case, but Exeter seemed quicker and more incisive than Harvard, until the last speech by Fitzpatrick, which, in massing, earnestness and grasp of situation was the best of the evening...
...compete for Harvard this spring. Applegate and Clark, who won second places in these events, ran very well and will probably develop into point winners. A. W. Robinson, the interscholastic champion, was not hard pushed in the 100 yards dash. If he can swing into the stride quicker after the start he will be a hard man to beat. C. M.

Ex-Captain Wrightington gave the backs valuable points on the formation of interference and got them to playing together and starting quicker. Sawin was at right half in place of Brown, throughout the practice, and showed up well in most of the plays. Considering the unfavorable conditions of rain and a slippery field, the running of the backs was decidedly encouraging...
