...football number of the Lampoon shows throughout a sense of what is proper and fiting for the occasion. A Yale game is emphatically a serious proposition; for this reason, no doubt, almost all humorous matter has been edited from the pages of the present issue. Exceptions have been made in favor of "The True Story of Sampson," which is undeniably funny, if rather long-winded; and of a caricature sketch, by far the best thing of its kind that has come out for a long time. The editorials are prosy and excited no false hopes. A great deal of dull...

It ought to be a matter of satisfaction and pride that they are the work of Harvard...
...just enough first-rate players to form a team, but lacks substitutes. This lack is the most serious difficulty of the season, as it is almost impossible for a team to play through the season without losing a few regular players for a short time at least. Another reason for such an early selection of the team is the fact that eight of the men are playing on the University eleven for the first time; and a long period of working together is necessary in order to make the team work run smoothly. The eleven selected is as follows: Gould...
