...strong where the freshmen were weak and fairly outplayed the latter. This however does not excuse the poor showing made by Ninety-five for that the team can play better foot ball it evinced by the brace towards the end of the game. What the team seemed principally to lack was confidence. Ninety-our played with some dash and life as though desirous of wiping out some of their last year's games...
...freshman class must give its eleven better support than it has up to this time. The Yale freshman eleven is playing a remarkably strong game. It will take a very good team to defeat it, and our freshmen must not fail through lack of loyal and enthusiastic support. The members of the class should not only attend the scheduled games of their eleven, but they should go out and watch the practice of the candidates. It is encouragement of this sort which will keep the team working hard all the time; and hard work is all that will...

Cambridge worked the criss cross effectively several times and repeatedly gained...

These conditions which make it possible for the American student to leave long gaps in his education are eccentricities which no well balanced system of education would admit. The thought that this suggests is certainly novel and almost...
