...their might. We have learned the lesson of defeat thoroughly, and it is time we showed that we can teach as well as be taught. We have lowered our colors too many times already, and we must win next fall. We can win too, if every man puts his shoulder to the wheel and does his utmost to lift our athletics out of the rut into which they have fallen...
...season is over. Severe coaching and outspoken criticism will undoubtedly do good when the practice is going on, but when a team has played the way the eleven did last Saturday, can we best "back them up" as Ninety-four urges us to do, by giving them "the cold shoulder...

It is probable that neither Lea, Suter or Baird will be able to play in the Yale game on Nov. 23. This will materially lessen Princeton's chances of winning, which hitherto have been very good...
