...opinion that great injustice has been done to the University. Generally speaking, the article by Quest in the North American Review is shown to contain untrue statements. Our information also shows it was an extremely sensational article and that the class of men which it describes is very much smaller than a person from reading it would infer.

The orchestra will be floored over and covered with soft matting, thus giving a field little smaller than the regulation size, and no harder than the turf. The ball will not be allowed to be kicked, and the game will be strictly a running one. The game will be between the regular University of Pennsylvania eleven and an amateur eleven known as the Rivertons, which will be strengthened by four well-known Princeton players-Hancock,'88, as quarter-back; Cowan, '88, and L.
