...Andover. There is one chance yet left for the eleven to clear themselves and to change the prevalent opinion which now pervades the college. This chance will present itself to-day, when the eleven goes to Exeter. Exeter is by no means invincible, as many of the freshman class seem to think, and if the team goes into the game with a fixed determination to win, and not in a faint-hearted spirit, there are good grounds for believing that the freshmen may wrest a hard-contested victory from an Academy which now holds the foremost place in foot-ball...
...touchdowns. We published an editorial, a day or two ago, warning the freshman of just what has happened. They have capital material, but they played better the first week they were here, than they are doing now. This must stop at once. The team has been literally loafing,, and seems afraid to soil its new uniforms; they are dirty now, at any rate, and perhaps the play will improve in consequence. Ninety doesn't seem to realize that she has a game with Yale ahead of her at that, and only about three weeks distant, too. They urge in their...

In the whole of the game against Andover, the Harvard rush line did not stop the halfbacks from kicking one single time after a down, a showing which, as they were playing against...

Then, indeed it will very likely be a source of wonder, not that the hour was set so late, but that it was arranged for so early...
...into disrepute. This has been an occasional reason offered to account for an occasional athletic defeat. The steady increase in the number of lockers in use, until now it has reached a requirement of fifty beyond the limit, is an answer to this criticism of Harvard. But it does seem extraordinary that when so many men are daily thrown into athletic competition, there is not aroused such an emulation that there is no possibility of success against the crimson in any branch of athletics. It is a burning shame that when Harvard might so easily hold the field unrivalled...
