...diminishing our (Yale's) chances of success, but rather as an opportunity of scoring another victory." This opinion may be regarded as "merely an expression of individual opinion," and is therefore of the greatest value as such! We learn, however, from the same competent authority that "some of the strongest men on the last foot-ball team will be left to retrieve Yale's former prestige." Harvard's reputation, alas, is rapidly becoming a mere shadow and an exhalation...
...from the above list all the new men have played on their class nines. In addition to those mentioned, Palmer, '88, pitcher of the '88 nine, and Edgerley, '86, may play. Seven members of last year's nine and three substitutes are in college, and intend to play. The strongest batsmen remain, although the absence of Beaman, '85, the third baseman, who was a hard hitter, will be felt. With the old battery, Allen and Nichols, and a strong infield, and excellent candidates for the vacant positions, the prospect is that Harvard will be represented this year by a nine...

Such societies cast aside the element of selfishness, and recognize and advance the element of generosity, of intellectual democracy, and the men who faithfully support them are helping themselves, and are helping...
...eighty-nine eleven goes to Exeter on Saturday of this week. Before they start it may be well for the college to have some idea of the team which will represent Harvard in the game with the strongest of the school elevens. The freshmen have labored under some disadvantages this year that former teams have not had to contend against. The want of a university eleven to practice against, and from which to get points, has been strongly felt. The upper-class elevens have done their best to remedy this difficulty; but as they are themselves trying candidates for different...
