...this year. The chances of success are so small that the thought of victory is likely to be ridiculed, especially by men not connected with the University, and it is a wonder if sometimes all effort does not seem hopeless to the captain. And yet there has been no falter in the work spent upon the nine, and we are confident that there never will be. This staunchness of purpose, this carefulness over plans, this determination in action at so trying a time is precisely the thing needed, and there is not one of us but must be stirred into...
When, however, the President turns from the present to the future, when he ends his description of the abuses and commences his recommendation of remedies, the great body of students will falter in foilowing him. The President names a number of possible remedies, and probably does not intend that all should be applied at once.

The interference was unusually good, and the defensive work was strong. Acton has strengthened the centre considerably, while Baldwin's work at tackle is becoming better by each day's practice. Gray was out again, but his ankle was not strong and he played only a few minutes. Newell also appeared once more in his old position, but gave way in the second half to Connor. Emmons was injured, though...
