...venture in your columns to revive the ancient outcry against the unpardonable obstructions on Boylston street bridge after a football game. It is sufficient hardship for the large crowd always attendant upon a Saturday game to cross the river within the narrow palings of the bridge; but when several automobiles and carriages pass over at the same time, but in the opposite direction, insult is indeed added to injury. It would seem that we had returned to the triumphal procession of the Romans, and that while the chariots pass along, the people as well as the bridge groan. An effective...
Open practice should prepare the players to overcome the nervousness which often proves fatal in big games, and the keen criticism of undergraduate spectators will make more bearable the less sympathetic attitude of a crowd. From the standpoint of undergraduates, more-over, the passing of superfluous secret practice will be a cause for much satisfaction.

...understand that this year several sections along the third base line will be sold only as cheering sections for the first few days of the sale. As all seats are reserved, no man who marches in the parade will be forced to stand, no matter how large the crowd may be. This arrangement should remove one of the most serious obstacles in the way of united cheering, and should assure a hearty support for the team. The writer of the communication further objects that men who purchase a seat in a cheering section are not allowed to procure seats...
