...light and will have to work hard to make up for this disadvantage in weight. The bad weather has probably kept some men from coming out for practice. In all probability more candidates will present themselves when the weather is less threatening. The freshmen, however, must not wait for clear weather. The time for practice is short, and every day, fair or rainy, will be needed to make the eleven a fair competitor in the game with Yale...

The accounts of contests are concise and clear, and the tables of statistics, records and facts are the most comprehensive that have ever appeared in a book on athletics. Although the book is written for Yale men, some facts brought out in connection with contests between the crimson and the blue are interesting to Harvard men also...
