...schedule of the University gymnastic team has been provisionally arranged so as to include exhibitions in Andover, Somerville, Brockton, Newton, Brookline, and Milton, with probable dates at Exeter and Worcester.

There ought, however, to be a little time after the game for the interchange of those social civilities which could not but bring Harvard into closer connection with other colleges without destroying the true spirit of rivalry. If the visiting team has to hurry away so early that there is no time...
...their best unless the odds are against them. There will be not a few Harvard supporters on the Princeton field to cheer the team. But whether there or here in Cambridge, each member of the University has the hope of a successful outcome of today's contest uppermost in his mind...
