...made through this position on the Harvard team, and once at a critical time, Marshall broke through and tackled one of Yale's trick plays for a loss. Barnard bore the brunt of Yale's attack during the larger part of the game and though it was a severe task, did it commendably. Knowlton and Shea proved themselves to be effective tackles, both defensively and in carrying the ball. Putnam made a number of Harvard's gains outside of tackle and by keeping close to his interference was several times able to cover considerable distance around the end. Graydon played...
...call to mind a poorer practice than that of the University football team yesterday would be a most difficult task. Not since the start of the season has a more spiritless or unsatisfactory exhibition occurred; and in view of the close proximity of an important contest, the showing was certainly disquieting. The whole team was remarkably slow, there was practically no interference, and but for the extreme weakness of the second eleven, whose frequent fumbles thwarted any attempts at effectual offensive work on their part, defeat would have been hard to avert.

...Stowe and "The Sleep-Walker," by G. B. Fernald '03. Both are of romantic trend, but neither is very literary or life like. "Le Petroleur," by E. R. Little '04, is written in a style which aims to heighten pathos by apparent lack of feeling. The task seems to have been too hard; the blunt treatment has not done justice to a theme of considerable possibilities...
