...therefore seemed advisable not to award championship cups, but to let it be understood that unless all the games are played no real chapship is to be awarded; yet '89 played a hard game with '88 and it seems unfair that the members of the team should get no credit for their work simply because the other classes withdrew. It has therefore seemed advisable again to give '89 cups as a reward for their game with '88 and not as championships. These cups are to be marked "Foot-Ball; '89, 10; '88, 4," and then at the opposite part...
...poetry, Mr. Carman's "Violets" is a very charming bit, which does credit to its author. The poem is not wearisome nor "long drawn out," as might be expected from the extreme simplicity of the subject. Some of the stanzas are pure poetry. Take as an example...

But the score was not the only thing. A great improvement was noticed both in individual playing and team work, over the work in the game with Princeton. And this fact should encourage us all to hope for a favorable issue of the game on Thanksgiving Day. The men have shown that, though the loss of their captain was severely felt, they...
