The team as a whole seem to be afraid of falling on the ball, and thus often make bad fumbles which is, as experience has proved, a fatal mistake. The players especially noticeable are the half backs for their running and dodging, and the quarter back for his quickness. The rusher line is lively but on the whole rather weak though composed of heavy men. These...

Foot-ball will be the object of main interest for sometime to come. Let every man who has ever played the game show himself upon Holmes Field prepared to engage in the practice games...

For the first two months the board was very fair, but in the last month it has become so poor that one often has to leave the table after having eaten barely enough to keep him alive...
