...points to a long term of careful training and the prospect of a body of men in splendid condition when the season opens for outdoor exercise. Nor is this energy wasted. We can never be too sure of winning in the inter-collegiate games. Many things may happen to mar our chances where so many events are to be contested for, and such a variety of mishaps are to be guarded against. Moreover with the graduation of '83, a large number of last year's team left college. Soren, Kip, and Morrison, all winners last year, have left a great...
They are thus without those qualities which are calculated to give them "nerve" at critical points in a game, and for this reason often go to pieces before a weaker nine because they happen to be for the moment at a disadvantage.

If also graduates...
...classes had not interest enough in the project to even nominate men for the club offices, it would seem to be just as well for the prosperity of the club that its officers should be men who take an active interest in its affairs even though they may happen to belong for the greater part to one class. In point of fact, however, the management of the club's affairs is in the hands of the board of directors, composed of representatives from each class, so there need be no fear that any partiality will be shown...
