FOOT-BALL is the favorite sport in fall, and we hope that Holmes Field will be kept in constant use, for our foot-ball team owe it to themselves and to the College to place themselves on a level with the crew and the nine. It is true that the team will suffer severely by the loss of so many good players from '77; but there seems to be no reason why, with steady practice, a team could not be formed strong enough to bring back the laurels which were lost at New Haven last year...
...last June at Springfield and Hartford make it incumbent on those in whose hands are placed our boating and ball interests for the coming year to see that the laurels so nobly won are as nobly retained.

The Nine deserve our thanks for the pleasure and satisfaction which each student feels in the remarkable victories which have fallen to Harvard's lot this year. The Nine owe as much to their Captain, Mr. Thayer, as the Crew owe to Mr. Bancroft, and we are glad that both these gentlemen have won the victories which their pains have so justly deserved...
