...inability of the team to appear, and we feel it a duty to apologize to the '91 management for the charges made against them in our last issue, and we hope that a game may be arranged with this team after all. However, we have no reason to retreat from our stand in regard to the Consolidated and the 'Varslty. The actions of those two teams were not least in causing the present misunderstanding with Harvard.

...recommendation will undoubtedly have great weight. Two branches of our athletics will receive especial attention, rowing and foot-ball. In regard to what action the faculty will take about a paid coach for our crews there is much speculation. But it is generally believed that the faculty will not retreat from its position taken last year.
