...teams work, and the necessity of the rule is now apparent. For the past two or three winters the floor has been lined with men watching the eleven practicing dropping on the ball and pursuing their other training. Of course it is gratifying to see so much interest evinced in the work of the team, but when this interest takes the form of hindering the men at their work, as in this case it does, it ought to be stopped. The passages are often so crowded that men wishing to go from one side of the hall to the other...
...subject of the greatest present interest here is football. The letters have just been received from the Harvard management protesting fifteen men, among them some who have not been in Princeton this year. The protests themselves are harmless, of course, but Harvard's willingness to descend to such low-down measures, thus to go beyond all limits with the hope of crippling the Princeton eleven, has caused much comment here, which is not calculated to flatter Harvard's athletic spirit.

Day after day the men play on Divinity field and few of the class are patriotic enough to go out and encourage them. Even at Saturday's game very few spectators were present. This apathy is very discouraging to the captain, coaches and players who are doing their best to produce an eleven which will make a good showing against Yale...
...present receiving. It is the oldest and largest of our musical organizations. Last year it took part in but two concerts, one in December and one in May, and both in Cambridge. With such a long interval of rest it is very difficult to keep alive an interest in the rehearsals. The orchestra is now rehearsing regularly and promises to be quite up to its old standard. The necessary stimulus would be supplied if some of the friends of the organization would procure invitations for it to play in neighboring cities. The Glee club has many invitations very winter...
