...wish to speak. The work of Mr. Connor, the Princeton umpire in the game on Saturday, was of immense advantage to his team. Placed in a position where he could see everything and relieved from all the mental strain required of an actual player, he was able to coach and give the signs to his eleven in a most effective manner as well as to act as umpire. Mr. Adams, our umpire, did well in that capacity and did some excellent coaching, but he did not have the management of the team down to such a fine point...

Foot ball exercise for crew men in fall is acknowledged to be excellent practice, but the men, with one exception, have no time for it this...
...shall in all probability have a light crew, but not necessarily a weak or poor one. Harvard, with a regular experienced coach and early accessibility to the water, has indisputable advantages in acquiring the art of rowing and should always be able to turn out crews which shall do honor to the college. Capt. Storrow is of opinion that a light, active crew, if the men are all strong and healthy, can be made as effective as a heavy crew.
