...freshman class games on Holmes Field yesterday afternoon were decidedly a success. The events were fairly well contested, and the records as a rule were good. In the running broad jump E. B. Bloss made a record of 21 feet 10 inches, beating the Harvard record by 3 inches. The list of the entries would have been larger had more of the men been able to find the Secretary...
Finally the football management, after a series of experiments, have been able to construct a nose mask which is as unyielding as is necessary, and which will more than take the place of the old mask. The new rule provides that no metal substance shall be used in the construction of any guard for the face, but this mask contains no metal whatsoever. It is therefore impossible for anyone to object to its use. The rough game which may be expected in the more important contests makes a mask indispensable, and this last and most successful experiment is highly satisfactory...

The officials anticipate that the meeting tomorrow will be well attended and hope that a strong team...

Few if any of the forbidden visitors are even deterred by the sign and the students seldom remind them of it. Consequently...
...greatest farce which remains in connection with the admission to Harvard College is the rule obliging candidate to file a certificate of moral character. This certificate amounts to nothing at all. Anyone can get such a paper, and the college is no more sure of the character of a man than if the certificate had never been presented. It is a piece of red tape at which every one smiles and which, if its doubtful moral effect and uselessness be considered, it would be far better to do away with...
