...class nines are very generally complaining that Norton's Field is in the worst possible condition. Apparently nothing has been done to the field since the football season ended. The question now is, who is responsible for the present condition of affairs? The field is in charge of the university associations and it is therefore their business to do the necessary work on it.

These graduate committees, then, of each association, keep the best methods of working, and discard the worst. In this, their work, they can give, from their experience, the best advice in regard to the management and policy of each association.

One cannot expect much team work from a freshman eleven so early in the season, but the college does expect interest and suap. Ninety-four played without either of these. The worst feature was the massing of the Exeter men against our centre; for every time this was done the freshmen were shoved right away; almost as bad as this, was the way the Exeter backs went through the opposing line. Everybody seemed to stand still and to be utterly incapable...
