...throughout it there is constant striving for effect. "The Point of View," by J. G. Cole sC., is a pleasant sketch of a not very ingenious sort. The plot is conventional and the characters are common place. The writer shows an extensive acquaintance with Boston "taverns," and some slight knowledge of girls. In "The Tin Goddess," L. D. Humphrey '01 contributes a story of the expanded daily theme type. "A Serious Question" is a choice bit of realistic description, greatly marred by an anti-climax...
Daly's work in the back-field was good and perhaps the best part of his game. The Yale team showed so much unexpected strength that his plan of attack required complete and constant changes some of which were open to slight criticism. Sawin was decidedly the best halfback in the game. He played in perfect accord with Daly, and clipped many yards off of McBride's punts by his clever, dodging runs. He made the longest gain of the day by a 33 yard run around Gibson in the first half. The end plays and double passes around...
...ushers filed on the field at 12 o'clock, and the spectators began to arrive about 12.30 in straggling two and threes.

There have been several slight changes in the plans for fall rowing. The race for the graded crews of the two boat clubs will be held on Thursday, November sixteenth, instead of on the seventeenth, as previously arranged. This change was made to enable the men to attend the dinner to last year's crew, which will be held on the evening of the seventeenth. Instead of the two first crews having a separate race, it is probable that all four graded crews will race together. The distance of the Freshman race, which will be rowed on November eleventh...
...strong wind, blowing diagonally across the field, made accurate punting impossible. In the first half Coombs punted frequently, and had the slight advantage of the wind over Hallowell. The latter made some longer punts in the next half when he had the wind in his favor and gained over Coombs on every exchange. He was well supported by Campbell who made every punt count for its full distance...
