Brown comes to Cambridge with brass bands and cheering sections, flushed with the recent victory at Philadelphia; confident that this season's one ambition, namely, to defeat Harvard, will be fulfilled as surely as was last year's determination to overwhelm Yale. All Providence comes to Cambridge to behold the probable victory, knowing full well the exact power of the eleven tried and chosen...
...counteract the lack of confidence such as the team may feel this afternoon. Nevertheless, it seems to us that another splendid demonstration of enthusiasm similar to that which characterized last year's mass meetings in the Union is due in the stands today. Let all those who appreciate what defeat or victory against Brown implies, what meeting Yale and Princeton with a clean record implies, and above all what irresponsible and compelling enthusiasm implies, let these men, we say, go to the game this afternoon and cheer on a winning team...

Amherst has played three games this year. In the first, Springfield Training School was surprised with a defeat, 3 to 0. Next Wesleyan played a 0 to 0 tie, and then, last Saturday, Trinity startled her by winning...
