...whom the championship belongs which was left unclaimed in their freshman year. The Harvard juniors should feel themselves responsible for making the game a success in every way. Yale was the first to propose to play and of her own accord offered to come to Cambridge. It is a point of honor with Ninety-six to see that her nine is well received...
Saturday was a day of victories for Harvard, a day full of promise for the rest of the season. Even the defeat of the lacrosse team was far from discouraging (it is no sign of weakness to fall but a single point behind the intercollegiate champion of last year); and in lacrosse alone was Harvard beaten.

At present, in the onward sweep of athletics, the undergraduate has been deceived into thinking, or rather into acting as if he thought, that the athlete alone is deserving of the popularity which puts a man's name in every body's mouth. It is proper that the athlete should enjoy a certain measure of collegiate fame, but it is far from proper that he should hold...
