...time being, for in consideration of the interest awakened in the college, and the improvement steadily going on in the eleven, we ought not to be again satisfied until the championship is secured. Prophecies may seem out of place at present, yet from what we may reasonably expect for next season it seems that our prospects are brighter than ever. Abundance of material, good management, and hearty support seem already promised, while lack of honest work and desire for success has never been the fault of Harvard teams.

A Princeton rusher, if fouled, would warn his opponent what to expect next time, and when "next time" came the latter was forcibly reminded that he was playing unfairly. In our rush line there happen to be some of the finest boxers in college. After the first twenty minutes, there-fore, our opponents settled down to an outwardly gentlemanly game...
