...audience as a whole, and an impulsive desire on the individual's part to rush up and shake hands all around, with producers and actors alike, on the success of this, their supreme achievement. Last year, in "Beranger", the club undertook what many thought to be a task beyond its scope and power--and finished it with high credit to themselves. In the present instance, this courageous little group of workers entered upon a doubly difficult problem--one that called for the utmost imagination and adaptability--and have admirably, yes, magnificently, succeeded...

In this way a coach is kept in constant touch with...
...Yale Bowl next Saturday the Harvard football team and the Harvard cheering section will face their supreme test. The team is prepared, but are the undergraduates equal to their task? When the Crimson eleven goes to New Haven it must have the confidence and feel the confidence of every Harvard man. This means more than the enthusiasm of a mass meeting. Thursday the student body marches to the field to cheer the team. Let every undergraduate be there to prove to Captain Buell and his team that he will do his part. W. J. BINGHAM...
