...freshman nine is particularly to be warned against over-confidence in their game with Yale next Saturday. It cannot by any means be said that the nine of the Yale freshmen is a weak one; its work thus far shows it is superior to those of many previous years. It certainly will put forward every effort to win the series with Harvard. Cool and careful work only will enable our nine to win Saturday, and certainly the importance of their winning then is fully appreciated by every member of the class...
...burst into the room. The tale of violence was soon told. Overwhelmed by numbers, the freshmen had been captured by sophomores and conveyed to a solitary house on the verge of the town, where their captors had intended to confine them until day.

In the excitement and nervousness of the first few minutes of a game, and with the disadvantage of a strange ground, none but a decidedly superior team could withstand such an attack. But after the first excitement has passed, a much inferior team can block their opponents and prevent scoring, though tacitly acknowledging their fear of defeat by massing around goal and playing only on the defence...
