EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- There is a prevalent but mistaken idea among the students that the football team is, or ought to be, self supporting. It is the policy of the management this year to play the best teams available at whatever cost, and to play all games possible in Cambridge. As the cost of transporting a football team is large. and as our opponents come from considerable distance, we are compelled to give large guarantees. For example, to Williams and to Amherst we had to pay over $100 a piece. The gate money received for those games was scarcely over...
...Talant won the tournament, after beating the Sears brothers three sets to nothing. It was generally supposed that they would make a hard fight against Tailer and Snow. About two hundred students watched the match, which was characterized by the steady play of Lee and Talant, but the college champions were too brilliant for them.

Of these Wallace, Gill, Corbin, Woodruff, Beecher and Morrison were on last year's team. Cross was substitute on last...
...weakness of the team's play has been made painfully evident by the fact that in afternoon practice games the college side has already made two touchdowns against the University teams- something that has not happened before in years...
