...with the clear understanding that they must improve upon the standard of our play in preceding years. Time was when about all the scientific knowledge of lacrosse that existed among the colleges was held at Harvard. Our twelves had a system of team playing when our rivals had practically none; and, in consequence of this superiority, although we were sometimes deficient in other respects, notably running, we won for years an unbroken series of easy victories. Now, however, things are changed. Princeton and Yale now have learned team play thoroughly, and - possibly through our over-confidence - they have been allowed...
...foot ball game with Harvard is well exhibited in the following circumstances. The Friday before the game a member of the freshman eleven was in Springfield where he expected to join the team as it passed through the city on its way to New Haven.

Many a man does not go to the gymnasium, because he finds it dull work to pull at the chest weights, and many another, who does go, would gladly participate...
...control; and this is fully borne out by the performances under his baton. Those who remember the previous concerts which have been given here will notice a marked contrast between his manner of conducting, and Mr. Henschel's; there is a more quiet and decided air about him, and none of that affectation which many found in Mr. Henschel...
