...clear that no shakeup of the team was yet definite, but that this Saturday might find a new Harvard eleven in the Stadium was obvious. Judging from the way the players were shuffled about both in the scrimmage and signal drill, it would appear that even the University mentor has now no idea what combination he will send against the Indians.

...days ago one might have closed one's eyes in the Palmer Stadium and imagined oneself at a cricket match, were it not for the visitors' cheering section. It is not difficult to see what prompted the Amherst Student of October 7th to remark, "About 18,000 watched the start of the game, per custom more Lord Jeff supporters than Orange and Black...
