The undergraduate has a personal interest in the game which it is impossible that he should continue to keep to the same extent in later life. The players are his friends, his classmates or his contemporaries. Their record is a part of his college experience in which he has a very natural pride.

...strength of the University eleven in the game with Brown at 3 o'clock this afternoon. As Boal and Reid will be the only men missed from the line-up, Harvard will be able to oppose a good team to the strong Brown eleven. The latter has a good record for this season, and in past seasons has always played games which proved of great value to Harvard elevens. It will require strong team play to break up Harvard's defense, and the offensive work should be effective as a result of the great attention paid to it during...
