...intended to bring out new men and raise the standard of the men we already have in three events which it is very important for us to win at New York next spring. Those events are chosen partly because in them we need better work, and partly because they admit of practice in the gymnasium as well as on the field. They will accomplish the purpose for which they are held, only if men go in with a will and train for them faithfully. Every athletic man in college ought to feel that it would be partly his fault...
...assured that he has put the game of football at Harvard on a firm foundation, and that the result of his efforts will be apparent in years to come. Harvard has now learned how to play the game, as the Yale eleven will be among the first to admit and we should not rest until we have proved our worth by winning the championship...
...CRIMSON :- The complaint made in Wednesday's CRIMSON about the library is one about which every man feels only too strongly.

I write this the more frankly because I believe the majority of Princeton men admit that at least they were overmatched, and Harvard's relations with Princeton have always been the pleasanter for the universal manliness with which the Jersey men accept defeat, when fortune wills that it shall be theirs...
...sober walks that they may avoid over-exertion and broken bones, is an absurdity, but they may accept and profit by advice as to how best to develop their powers. Still, to these the monotony of the gymnasium will in the long run become irksome. The tennis player will admit that his right arm exceeds his left, without caring to correct it. He cannot correct it without taking time from his favorite game, and there by injuring his proficiency. Is it likely that he will make this sacrifice from an abstract love of the symmetrical? And is it reasonable...
