...duty of every loyal Harvard man who is worth anything on the track or field to take hold with a will and help his college win back the Mott Haven cup. Last year, after seven years of continuous victory, we lost the cup to Yale's exceptionally strong team. Only the most earnest and strenuous efforts can this year restore Harvard to the position she so long held at the head of track and field athletics in the colleges. Every man who takes an honest pride in the athletic victory of Harvard and feels any shame at her defeat ought...
Comnock, of Lowell, is trying for the University team and is playing a strong game. Fitzhugh, from the Groton Academy, is a strong man and ought to make a good halfback. Crosby, from Cutler's School in New York, showed up well in practice yesterday, as end rush, as did Thomas at halfback. The other candidates are as follows : Barlow, Burnett, Tudor, Baldwin and Morrison...

It is thought here that Yale will have her hands full to defeat either Harvard or Princeton...
...rush line. Woodruff, Gill and Carter are all crew men, and they make a trio in the foot-ball team that will make it exceedingly hot for opposing elevens. Harry Beecher is doing his old-time work as quarter-back. He is as quick as a cat and as strong as a moose. He is the captain of the team, and as such is well liked by all the men, from whom he bids fair to get the best work of which they are capable...
