Yesterday afternoon the Harvard eleven played its first game with the Tufts college eleven on College Hill. Play was begun at 3.45. Tufts presented a light team, and Harvard forced the ball down to the goal posts and kept it there during almost the entire game.

...make us unpopular to refuse? and again we reply, no. Men who voluntarily give punches on Bloody Monday night throw themselves open to the accusatien of "swiping" to the sophomores and often become unpopular in consequence; but a simple refusal to comply is not regarded in the same light. We hope there is no one in the freshman class so cowardly as not to stand by his principles; or mean enough to think to gain favor in the eyes of the upperclassmen by ostentatiously acquiescing in their demands...
