...Upton showed cannot be praised too highly. While Upton made his long run around the end he was playing almost mechanically, the hard treatment he had been given having made him nearly insensible. Trafford signaled but he did not hear. He signaled again and Upton just caught enough to know what was expected of him. The ball was snapped back and he went through his motions but he was not conscious of them. When taken to the quarters he remembered nothing of the play, merely that he had been signaled...
...team. With Holden the change began and under Sears, Cumnock and Trafford our grasp of the game has grown firmer; and we venture to predict that it will now continue to grow till we are successful. It would be presumptuous to say that men of the past did not know the game, but the knowledge of each was distinct and came always from defeat.

We cannot foretell victory or defeat...
...seems right that the college should know of this. What the team now needs is the feeling that every man in college is back of it, ready to give his most loyal support. There are few more impressive scenes than the send off to a 'varsity team. The effect on each player is deep and lasting. Those who leave today for Springfield are in every sense of the word men and it lies with the college this afternoon to show them that they are supported by equally true men, who will do what they can to help win the game...
