Rain or shine the foot-ball team can be found steadily at work at their practice every afternoon. If earnest purpose and hearty willingness to work can bring us success this fall we predict a happy issue to this year's sport. The eleven work quietly and systematically in every manoeuvre, and their steady determined manner is gaining more and more approbation from their numerous friends who watch the daily practice. But their supporters must not forget how much the players appreciate whatever encouragement or interest may be shown in their work. Their inconveniences now are many and their failures...

If they could only surprise us as '83 did in her freshman year, it would be another instance...
...many the most interesting of all, as both gentlemen are exceedingly well versed in the art and showed many graceful movements. It was, however, merely an exhibition, not a contest.
