...victory of Saturday has awakened the spirit of Harvard which has lain in a lethargic state so long. Instead of periodical grunts and growling about the eleven, words of hope and encouragement are now heard. Men no longer say that Yale will win simply because she is Yale, but declare that she must show superior strength and science to do so. This, as a sign of the times, is most encouraging. Disgruntled criticism has done much evil here in the past. It has been caused by defeats to a great extent, but it has reacted upon the players...
...have heard many fellows express their apprehension at the uncertain make-up of the rush-line, but most of them, I think, recognized that this was due as much to our bad luck in having some of our best men laid up as to anything.

There are many men here who might have made the same remark. Before they jump at conclusions, it might be wise...
...that things often occur Wednesday that prevent those who wish, from going on the runs; these interruptions are of course only occasional. there are, however, many fellows who have recitations on Wednesday and are thus prevented from enjoying the runs coming on that day. Some complaint has been heard on this account and it is to be hoped the management can so arrange the runs that all can ejoy them...
