...Harvard-Dartmouth exhibition had been retained by the animal which it originally covered, then greased, and in that state put in play, the feats performed with it by the Crimson players might not have so dumbfounded those who looked on. They manipulated it, those Harvard mountebanks, after the fashion of tricksters who, juggling egg, watch, orange, drop egg and watch-those family friends who toss a baby to the ceiling and neglect to catch it.

...their pledge is realized. To compensate for this unseemly delay, however, there come the glad tidings that the opening game will be a truly gala affair. The band which has hitherto spent early season Saturdays practicing its mystical evolutions has overcome self-consciousness and will appear in true November fashion. This clearing of its brassy throat depends, of course, upon the arrival of uniforms, but indeed without rakishly set sailor caps and boldly crimson sweaters, the band would cut but a sorry figure...
