...such as now and then break out at the services of half the colleges in this country, would quickly induce the Powers That Be to change their minds and abolish morning prayers. Again, the athletic committee, although they would be not a little surprised if we should claim to know as much about Greek and mathematics as they do, feel sure that they know quite as much about foot ball and kindred sports as we do, and that to consult the students in those matters as to questions of fact or expediency would be superfluous...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: -The justice of Nemo's Complaint in a recent CRIMSON must appeal forcibly to every man in college. What surprises me is the hopeless resignation it counsels, or seems to counsel. Harvard, as far as I know is the only institution of the kind, which sets up its back, and despotically proclaims "one day only as a Thanksgiving holiday."

This last performance, however, equals the best feats of silliness on record...
...made several pretty runs and dodged very well, while Peabody tackled splendidly. The halfbacks were, however, lamentably weak in kicking, apparently using very little head word. The centre rush should snap the ball back without wasting so much time, and the quarterback should take in the situation better and know more surely what is the correct thing to do with the ball. If the rush line had not talked so much to the referee and to their opponents their play would have been better than any of their previous work this year...
