FOOT-BALL is the favorite sport in fall, and we hope that Holmes Field will be kept in constant use, for our foot-ball team owe it to themselves and to the College to place themselves on a level with the crew and the nine. It is true that the team will suffer severely by the loss of so many good players from '77; but there seems to be no reason why, with steady practice, a team could not be formed strong enough to bring back the laurels which were lost at New Haven last year...

The race was won not by luck or by chance, but by the long practice and the severe training which the crew have kept up during the year. Each man on the crew deserves the thanks of the University...
