...Baker," by L. Howe, does not seem to have much point. A clever piece in its way is "A Three-cornered Elopement;" but the best thing in the number is "Laughing Eyes," by H. W. Chamberlin, Jr. This is clever, strong and well told; the interest is kept up to the end and a very good climax is reached. "His Dream," by E. G. Knoblauch, is also very good, and told with considerable feeling...
...recent practice of the sophomore eleven reveals only too plainly the fact that the men have not the proper spirit in their work. Indeed, they do not seem to look on the matter as work but rather as mere fun to be indulged in heartily or half-heartedly as each individual sees fit. There is altogether too much individualism both in opinion and in action to bring the team into proper form for the interclass games. The time for these games is not far off and unless the men proceed immediately to serious work they will find themselves victims...

Of those which can be remedied, the greater part begin at the opening of the term and, unless checked then and there, continue through the year. Most of them seem trivial, but they nevertheless take away a great deal of the pleasure and profit of the course. Our attention has been called to the fact that there are men in some of the philosophy and economics courses, where the matter in hand...
...falling off in yesterday's practice from the good work of the eleven. The playing was loose, at times unusually so, although several of the men played a very good game.

The interferers simply pushed a man aside when they could just as well have knocked him down...
...first Harvard-Yale game was played at Worcester in 1868. Reference to the scores given below will show how ill perfected the game was at that time, for scores which would today seem very large were then the rule rather than the exception. We give below the dates, places and scores of all games between the two colleges from 1868 till today, as well as the names of the winning teams...
