...freshman eleven which played at Andover on Saturday was weakened by the absence of the regular half backs, but this fact is not sufficient to explain the severe defeat which the team received at the hands of the Phillips Academy eleven. The work of the freshmen in comparison withthat of the academy team was painfully slow and loose. The tackling as a rule was execrable, the blocking was not systematic, and the tendency to fumble the ball was very discouraging. The play of the academy eleven was uniformly good; Hinkey and Gilbert on the ends of the rush line...
...little in debt or entirely clear, and as a whole our athletics are on a better financial basis than ever before. But while the financial condition of the teams is satisfactory, we regret to find that only one, the Tennis association has paid its debts. We fully recognize the fact that the postponement of important games and an average attendance at all have had much to do with the present condition of the Foot Ball and Base Ball associations but we have felt and the college, at large has felt, that much needless expense is often incurred.

We shall be the last to say anything against necessary expense, we do, however, remonstrate against the employment of university moneys for any but strictly legitimate purposes. The football and baseball teams particularly must bear this in mind if they intend to meet the new obligation which they have taken upon themselves this year. Finally we thank the Auditing committee for its work and for the admirable manner in which the result...
Over seventy freshmen have been actually in the boats this fall, a fact which it has never been possible to assert before. Although no definite choice has been made, the men now rowing are the ones having the best chance to be selected for the final eight. Not much can be stated positively until the crew candidates among the men now playing football commence to work; but from the present outlook it would seem as if there were material in the class for an excellent crew...
...free and easy, and athletics particularly so engaging that it is very easy for us to forget the higher duties we are here to perform. But intellectual culture is, or ought to be after the primary aim of college life. Athletics are well in their place-are essential, in fact, but just as soon as they begin to absorb the best of our energies, a halt must be called. And this is virtually what has been done. It has been found that some men neglect their college work for their athletis, and the college in defence of its own position...
