Some time ago it was suggested that the H. A. A. should hold two hare and hounds runs a week, on Tuesdays and and Fridays, or Thursdays. There remains but a month in which this sport can be enjoyed. Will not the H. A. A. therefore, give the suggestion a trial? There will doubtless be enough men on hand at every run to warrant a start. In regard to the so-called "fast hunts" will the H. A. A. hold every second or third run a "fast" one and not leave it till the last and then hold...
...there is any sport here at Harvard which deserves support and which is on the contrary shamefully neglected, it is lacrosse. Year after year the twelve has won its championship, sometimes the only team to come back victorious. and instead of receiving the hearty praise due, has been coldly passed by. There must be a change. We cannot in these days of scanty champioships afford to give up a single chance.

However, those who have entered seem determined to struggle hard for the championship, and as the courts are now in prime condition and the weather promises to be fair...
...have decided to change the day of the hare and hound runs from Tuesday to Wednesday of each week? It has always been customary to have the runs on Tuesday afternoons when there are fewest recitations and no football games to deter anyone from joining. Last year the sport was so popular as to call for two runs a week; and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons were given up to them. Why not have two runs a week again this season on every pleasant Tuesday and Friday afternoon? By this method every one in college who cares anything about this form...
