...given to the members of last year's freshmen nine. The nine achieved what no other Harvard freshman nine had hitherto succeeded in doing - they won both games of the freshman series from Yale, they worked hard and faithfully, keeping up their training with praiseworthy assiduity; and yet their glorious victory has apparently been utterly forgotten by their apathetic classmates, It may be indeed, that this state of affairs has only existed from a lack of some one to take a lead in the matter; I trust for the sake of eighty-nine's patriotism and class-feeling that this...

...fresh leaves to the wreaths of fame which they have won both on the water and on the field. The practical re-admission of Harvard to the foot ball fraternity comes to-day. Much depends, then, on the issue of this afternoon's game, for it would be glorious indeed if Wesleyan could in future boast of a victory over Harvard on the occasion of her celebration in 1886! Let our players look to it, then, that no such disgrace occurs...
