...foot-ball team that anything else here at present. For once in her history Princeton feels completely disheartened about her chances for the championship. The fates seems to have set their faces dead against us. The failure of Cook and Moore to return was the first blow our hopes received. Then Wagenhurst, who was elected captain in Cook's place, was injured and it is now doubtful if he will be able to play at all this season. Now Church, '88 and Black, '88, who played endand next to end are laid up, for how long it is impossible...
...composite face? By comparing the photograps any one can see at a glance that this is not the case. There is a difference as distinct as the impression which different classes make on the minds of their instructors or fellow students. The class individuality asserts itself, and we can hope to get the general type only when a co-composite of many class composites has been made, and this will then be perhaps somewhat untrue, for I suspect that the type of senior in our American colleges is slowly changing.

...Harvard would be able to put a very strong eleven into the field; but through one cause or another, sickness or injury, many of the most promising candidates for our team have not been able to play. Still, under these adverse circumstances a team has been collected which we hope will be able to run up a score against Wesleyan which will compare favorably to that made by Princeton last week, 69 to 0. In order to encourage the team as much as possible, everyone should deem it his duty to be on the field today to cheer the team...
