...good chance for making a hard and even a winning fight for the championship. There are enough old men to form a good nucleus, and as the new material is unusually promising, the team will probably be stronger than that of last year. If no accidents happen to the players, Harvard may hope to win back the honors which now rest with Princeton...
...that at the beginning of a session young men are animated for a week or two by a very lively zeal to participate in athletic sports which in a brief period wears itself out; after which the gymnasium is for the most part deserted. What is more likely to happen is the selection of a limited number of athletes, who are supposed to possess more than usual skill, and who are charged with representing the college in their match games with other institutions.

If the gentleman who wrote that stinging editorial will turn to past files of the CRIMSON he will see that the paper has greatly improved typographically. Accidents will happen occasionally, of course; but the general appearance is superior to that of past volumes. As for the charge of our not leading or making opinion, we deny its truth in the first place. There are comparatively few men in college who read the editorials-not because they are not worth...
