...meeting on Thursday night for the purpose of forming a shooting club was a success so far as the numbers and enthusiasm of those present are concerned, but we think a little friendly criticism of the action taken by the leaders of the movement may not be inappropriate. No doubt '86 has done much for the formation of the club and has some very line shots, but that it should hold eight out of thirteen offices and those the principal ones seems to us unwise. That the shooting club should at its first meeting violate college precedents of long standing...
...meeting of representatives of American colleges, to consider the subject of athletic sports, soon to take place, is very timely. It will be held on the heels of the disaster at Harvard, where unrestrained enthusiasm over a boat race caused a crowded platform to give way, probably with fatal results to some.

...ball are not the men to put on the eleven. A team that plays well together is immeasurably superior to a much heavier team of less experience. The natural conclusion then is this, put the men that play and train on the team. They are the ones who have enthusiasm enough to support the eleven and as they do the work they should have the honor. Such an eleven might not contain the best material in college but it would make the best representative team. Do not defer picking out an eleven to wait for better men, but form...
