...Freshman eleven expects a hard game, but sees an encouraging sign in the greater co-operation and team spirit of the men, all of which has developed in the past week. Against Andover, the weakness of the Freshmen lay not so much in offense or defense, but in lack of co-ordinate team-play, which is due, naturally enough, to the abbreviated length of time that the men had worked together. Another week's work has smoothed one many of the rough spots, and a much-improved eleven will take the field at the New Hampshire school this afternoon. HARVARD...

...failure of the Sesquicentennial is more easily understood. Such an explanation, though if he the kindest, is not the most logical, for a good jamboree will always attract the multitude. In some other cause lies the reason for the fiasco. And the most probable is that of a lack of preparation, coupled with an over abundance of graft. It is possible that the fifteen million dollar loss which she will suffer may teach Philadelphia the lesson of preparedness; and it is also possible that Philadelphia is through giving parties...
