...Glacialis was not strong enough to bear yesterday afternoon; but after the cold of last night it will probably be thick enough today to afford safe skating. The ice towards the middle of the pond is very thin and is dangerous to venture...

Often men who otherwise would never take the opportunity to learn the game, turn out to be very fine players from the prace ice they get in these contests, and the exercise they afford to all is invaluable. That this interest may not be allowed to lag, but rather may be encouraged as much as possible in the future, we would suggest to the football management that a series of amateur matches be instituted and a set of cups be offered for the winners...

There must be a change. We cannot in these days of scanty champioships afford to give up a single chance. We must have the lacrosse championship next year, and to do it we must begin practice at once; every day is precious. Princeton, eager for the prize, has been working hard all the fall. There is no better opening for new material than...
