Foot-ball practice is steadily maintained and excites much interest among the students. The strength and amount of skill brought out so constantly in the game render it highly exciting to look upon. It is still early to make just comparisons between the team of this year and that of last, and to judge of our chances of success this year. The eleven of this fall will be somewhat lighter than that of last. There is a great deal of fair material from which to draw for the vacant places on the team; that which is excellent is still wanting...

To give any such action of a class any weight, it must be thoroughly understood that their vote is decisive and final. To reconsider the matter now, would establish a bad precedent and would render any vote of a future class worthless. There has been a great deal of misunderstanding about this matter generally, and particularly among the freshmen. They must not think that the intention was to shut them out from the tree, because they were freshmen, as a punishment for not defeating Yale...
