There is no doubt about it, a man can be more easily tackled in a jersey than in the right sort of a canvass jacket ; and theoretically, no one but quarter-back and fullback, who need the utmost freedom in using their arms, and will not rush so much, have a right to wear jerseys. On the same principle, anything like loose or torn sleeves, a belt not covered by the jacket, or a jacket that does not fit in the next and meet at the lacing, should be avoided. We hope also that the management will give a good...
...almost below the center of gravity. Our present method of play may beat Princeton, but it will never beat Yale. I know the men don't TRY to tackle high; they get into the habit of it, because it is so effective against the second eleven, and the sort of teams we play around here, but neither does it come natural to men to row the Harvard stroke,-they have to be taught it.

...body does not exist or begin to act until after this meeting has taken place. The election of a temporary captain for the football eleven is the first thing necessary to put the men to work practicing, as nothing can be done without a head of some sort. This done, and that as soon as possible, we shall hope to see all suitable men of the entering class working with a will to put a good eleven in the field this fall...
