...They should aim at perfection only, and should be far from satisfied with a game like Saturday's. They certainly played brilliantly then, and made a large score; but the other side were allowed to score also, although so inferior to our team. The goal the Techs, kicked was got, it is true, by chance from the field, but it was a chance they should never have been allowed to have...
...enough against men of their own weight, but heavier men will ward them off, dodge them, or carry them along, every time. Tackle a man low (not unfairly low, of course), and get in the way of his legs, and he upsets right in his tracks, for you've got him almost below the center of gravity. Our present method of play may beat Princeton, but it will never beat Yale. I know the men don't TRY to tackle high; they get into the habit of it, because it is so effective against the second eleven, and the sort...
...these men are very evenly distributed, the two history courses open to them receiving the greatest number-about eighty each.

...first peculiarity of Wellesley that strikes a Harvard student is the simple fact that all the innocent "freshmen," high and mighty "Sophs," etc., are girls. It is a girl who says in your hearing "she got plucked." They are, girls who are playing tennis over there. It is a girl-crew out on the lake that is learning the new Yale stroke. But here the analogy ceases, no "mighty daughters of the plough" are trying their rushing qualities in that game which is so popular at Yale and Princeton, nor can we see any signs of a diamond. Botany appears...
