...Bartlett's were frightened out of it when they saw the list of entries headed by a few of the most formidable players in college. The mere winning of a prize is not the primary object for which the tournament was originated, but rather that all who enjoyed tennis might go in, try their luck, and have some sport. This spirit of dreading to pit oneself against a better player for fear of being beaten is entirely out of place here.

...thorough discussion of the subject is the only way to get at a satisfactory plan of action. The boating men in college will do well to consider the article that they may see whether there are not some suggestions in it, which, if carried wholly or partially into effect, might go far towards raising Harvard to her old proud position in intercollegiate athletics...
