It is the policy of the management this year to play the best teams available at whatever cost, and to play all games possible in Cambridge. As the cost of transporting a football team is large. and as our opponents come from considerable distance, we are compelled to give large guarantees.

He was a self-announced candidate for President of the United States in every campaign, and would argue about his chances with unbounded confidence.
