...only dual contest Harvard has with Yale will assure large and successful trials. Everything will be done to win it. But if we lose the Princeton debate we shall have had two defeats in succession, one by each of our rivals; and the combination will strike a very hard blow at our reputation in debating. If, on the other hand, we won the Princeton debate and lost to Yale it would be thought that Yale had come up in debating rather than that we had gone down. And if we won both debates this year our old supremacy would...
...eleven did not play Hopkinson yesterday as was expected but instead put in some hard practice in preparation for today's game with Worcester Athletic Club. The work of the first eleven was very weak. They were only able to score once, while the second eleven scored once upon them and carried the ball to their five yard line another time...

A committee will pass judgment on these songs and the best contributions will be published...

...before the great college contests begin? Why cripple the men ourselves? Is the management right? It is most important to win over Pennsylvania as it is a great college contest-it is not material about the Boston Athletic Association. Yet I believe the Boston Athletic Association will, by the hard game they will give, very materially help Pennsylvania to win, if she does win. Neither Harvard nor any other college can play first-class teams every seven days and be fresh and fit. Call off the Athletic Association game and give the team a rest that a good showing...
