...Baldwin the idea of filling caches with provisions and fuel and then setting them adrift on the ice. The Jeannette had followed the idea of floating with the ice-packs, but it had to be abandoned because of lack of coal; the Fram, under Nansen, had started from the wrong point. Mr. Baldwin advocates starting during the summer, so that by the time the ice-floes have been reached, winter will have set in and the cold will freeze the open sea around the ship, forcing it to float with the current. The Arctic regions would provide innumerable opportunities...
...Thorpe on the 45-yard line. The first play netted eight yards, and Payne made first down at right tackle. A double pass finally went forward to Wauseuka for eleven yards' gain. Thorpe reached the 5-yard line on the next play, but a forward pass went wrong, putting the ball on the 25-yard line. Another attempted forward pass went into Browne's hands. A penalty put Harvard on the 1-yard line, and Cutler punted to Thorpe, who was thrown by Crowley for no gain on the 53-yard line. In a pretty run through a broken field...
...besetting temptation of many college writers--not the exuberance of fancy which is attributed to youth, but the exuberance of dictionary which makes some fashionable authors intolerable. There is one parlor story, "Cupid's Ladder," by Mr. W. C. Greene, which leaves the hero proposing to the wrong sister, but does not inspire in us any curiosity to know what came of it. We are curious, however, to know why he four times addresses the lady as "Madamoiselle." Spelling is, I fear, a neglected branch of literature; the majority are "Laodecian," in that particular, as we read on another page...
...some years since this method was taken of presenting philanthropic work to undergraduates and it should aid materially this year. A wrong idea is not uncommonly held as to the function of the committee in charge. The committee's purpose is not to do the work itself--that would be easy and unprogressive--but to interest as many men as possible in the problem of helping along their less fortunate brothers and to develop an enthusiasm for these beneficial and organized movements which are working for the betterment of society...
...plays. Harvard lost two good chances to score, in the first half when Cutler failed to get off a short forward pass on Williams's 5-yard line, and again at the very beginning of the second half when Burr's placement goal from the 20-yard line went wrong. Nourse got the ball on a line play in the first half and ran sixty yards for a touchdown, but the referee had blown his whistle just as he started and he was called back. Both teams were frequently penalized for holding. The Williams defense was so well carried...
