...with faithful practice Harvard can put a strong team in the field this fall. Feeling certain as we do that the captain will spare no effort to develop the strongest team possible from the players in the college, we look with some confidence to the result of his work.

About twenty-five players and several hundred spectators appeared on Jarvis yesterday afternoon in response to the call for candidates for the football eleven.

The men were divided into three squads, headed by Capts. Sears, Trafford and Harding, and an hour was spent...
