...Banjo Club numbers nineteen men and is under the temporary leadership of R. B. Flershem, who is also playing with the 'varsity. As is the custom, the Banjo Club will probably have some professional instructor to coach the candidates. The material is decidedly above the average for a freshman club and with practice it will be an unusually good club...
...call which the coach of the freshman eleven has made to men who have played on the upper class teams should meet with prompt response. As is pointed out, it is of the greatest importance to the team that it be given a chance to try its signals and formations with opponents who are not also perfectly familiar with them.

The veterans, feeling sure of their positions, saw no particular reason for playing hard; but the chief reason was that coaches had been rather scarce all the fall. Mr. Camp was especially missed.

A knowledge of the details of individual play Dr. Brooks gained by two years training as a varsity player on the Harvard eleven, of which he was captain in 1886; but it was not as an individual coach that he was intended to be of service this season. He has rather taken a position similar to Mr. Camp's at Yale as chief adviser...
