...season of hard, steady work, and today the test of the work will be made. A slow development has been sought after by the coaches and the result is that the team will begin the game at the highest possible point of physical and mental strength. The spirit of fight and determination which characterizes the team is summed up in the words of Captain Kernan, "We are going into the game not to make a good fight, not to do our best...

The principal fault of the eleven is with the line men, who fail to charge and fight as they should. The men are for the most part in good physical condition, and can be relied upon to play a plucky game...
