...what it is used for, and it does its work well. One, however, is not enough for all the men who wish to use it. There ought to be at least three or four. The foot-ball season is over, and this, of course, diminishes the number of wet and bedraggled individuals; but on the other hand the crew men will soon settle down to their work, and their daily runs up North Avenue will have to be kept up in wet weather as well as in dry. When we add to this, the fact that the gymnasium...

In order that next year we may be able to cope with our rivals, foot-ball must not be allowed to stagnate this fall. Let the class games be played with old time...
...spite of the heavy clouds and occasional showers of Saturday afternoon, nearly 1200 people gathered on Holmes Field to see the championship game with Brown. When the nines came upon the field it was found that the grass had become so wet that anything like good plying was impossible. It was therefore decided to play an exbibition game-in order to save the gate money-and the Brown nine was sent to the bat.
