In spite of the hardest kind of football, not a man on either team was forced to retire on account of injuries...
...hope our men will win the football game tomorrow. The team is one of the cleanest and fairest we have ever had. In manifesting our interest in the result, whether it be in our favor or against us, it will be well for undergraduates and graduates to remember that any disorder on Saturday night would be charged to the game and would, therefore, injure football and out door sports.
