It is true that Andover men alone are initiated into the mysteries of the brick yard which serves them as a foot-ball field, still ignorance of the state of the grounds cannot in any way explain the loose playing of our team.

...which it has played against us. The Wesleyan team has improved astonishingly since it has played us. The kicking of the half-backs was way above average, while the rush line is made up of some superior materials. The determined and business-like way in which the Wesleyan team went to work at the beginning of the game was probably entirely unexpected by Harvard, and consequently made the Harvard team seem at first weaker than it really was. And then, too, it must be borne in mind that the team which Harvard will send into the championship games...
