...acting is the real feature of the play. Seldom has there been in Boston a company of such uniform excellence. Admiral Sir Peter and Jerome Brooke-Hoskyn Esq. are genuinely amusing and Mile. Marjolaine genuinely attractive...
...would be difficult to conceive of a Harvard sympathizer leaving the Stadium last Saturday unsatisfied. The University team was victorious and the football was brilliant and spectacular to an extent which is seldom witnessed on any field. Brown played excellently, but in the more brilliant playing of its opponent Harvard found its real team and the team found itself. No one can help being enthusiastic over such results. Throughout the game the team and its individual members took chances for long gains --not foolhardy chances, but chances that were more than likely to succeed; and success was incredibly constant...
...1G.B., won the championship of the University in tennis yesterday by defeating C. S. Cutting 12, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. The match was very closely contested, and nearly every game went to deuce.

Of the two, Gardner was the steadier, and played more aggressively...

Potter was at the head of the University team again yesterday and it looks as though he would give Wigglesworth, last year's regular, a very hard fight for the position. Potter's passes to Smith were a feature of the practice and seldom failed to gain ground. Huntington was not on the field and his place at centre was taken by Storer. Milholland was also given a rest. Campbell replaced T. H. Frothingham at right halfback...
