That there will be good material for Captain Colson to work with there is no doubt. All of last year's 'varsity except Captain Spillman are again in college, as are all of the '99 crew. Of course it is not at present known that all these men will go into training, but undoubtedly the majority will. The way in which the '99 crew has kept together is especially gratifying to Mr. Courtney. With the exception of one man the original '99 freshman crew is still in college. Mr. Courtney has always wanted to keep a crew together four years...
...follows the ball well and is apt to get it on a fumble. He knows his position thoroughly. Shaw's present good work is too well known to need comment. If he does not play Saturday it will be due to some physical disability rather than to any doubt as to the excellence of his play.

There is noticeable, on the other hand, among those whose technical knowledge of football and careful observation of both teams, make them really competent critics, a marked degree of modesty, a reluctance to commit themselves as to the outcome. Indeed as the day draws nearer it becomes more...
With the signal defeat of Brown last Saturday the strength of Pennsylvania's team this year has been proved beyond a doubt to be unusually great, and disregarding the possibility of a "slump" or the handicap of an unusual number of injuries to the men, it is the general opinion that the game with Harvard will be a hard fought...
