...have the race Friday afternoon, Nov. 18. The course will be about fifteen miles long, starting at Central Square, passing through Brighton, Newtonville, Waltham and Watertown, and finishing at Mt. Auburn. There will be a run over the course several days before the race in order that contestants may know the turns. Prizes will be given to the first two men at the finish, and all others who cover the distance within a specified time will receive cups similar to those given by the H. A. A. The race will be open to all riders in the University, but prizes...
...spite of this fact the men keep on obstructing the playing of the men just as much as ever. The men coaching the team spend more time in keeping the field clear than they do instructing the players. Carelessnes like this on the part of any men who know the value of practice for the team, and that the foot-ball field is the place for such practice, and not for the spectators to stand in,- carelessness, I say, is greatly to be blamed. Every man can see exactly as well if all stand behind the line as they should...
...your editorial yesterday you spoke of the sign-boards which are such ancient landmarks on Jarvis Field. I should like, if you will permit me, to emphasize your words, and, indeed, to add to them a little.

These atoms of brass even go so far as frequently to run across the foot...
...principle is an excellent one that the young man should labor to strengthen his weak points rather than to develop indefinitely his stronger ones. We do not know that it is desirable that young men should aspire to be 'record breakers' in particular sports. It seems to us better that they should be moderately good in all; but we recognize while human nature is what it is, that many will aspire to special excellence. It would be a curious problem in experimental mechanics to decide just how a man should be built to use his strength to the greatest advantage...
...afford a horse, even if he knew how to ride. To him a walk is about all there is left. It is cruelty to compel him to do work which he loathes, and he is likely to get little encouragement to learn games that he does not know. On the other hand there are those to whom proficiency in games is an instinct, and the gaudium certaminis a stimulant-almost an intoxicating one. To advise these men to take sober walks that they may avoid over-exertion and broken bones, is an absurdity, but they may accept and profit...
