...unfair and impolitic, and I for one should be glad to see it changed hereafter. The game is primarily an undergraduates' affair. We rely upon them to make up the team, and the team and its managers rely mainly upon them for the enthusiasm which helps to success. It would be easy to imagine what would become of college football if their interest in it should be discouraged. The undergraduate has a personal interest in the game which it is impossible that he should continue to keep to the same extent in later life. The players are his friends...
...annual football game between Andover and Exeter will be played this afternoon at Exeter. Since the series began, Andover has won ten games and Exeter six. The teams appear to besom evenly matched that little surprise would result if the score approximated that of last year, 0-0. The players on both sides are in excellent physical condition. L. F. Deland is to act as referee, and Robinson, the former Brown player, as umpire...
...them a member of last year's 'Varsity crew, the editors-in-chief of the College papers (some of whom spend more hours in working on College matters than almost any other undergraduates) and the members of the debating teams, about the encouragement of which we cant so much. Would the graduate manager maintain that the president of even the Lampoon had not a better right to ticket privileges than a substitute on the Freshman squad? I cannot see how he could, especially since it is known that Boston speculators have been selling tickets in the middle section since last...
...people whom he wishes to have come to see him play. But surely this is all. Harvard undergraduate organizations are not commercial in spirit, nor are they like those in a political ward. The men who deserve favors at the hands of the College are those who would be the last to demand them, especially if they knew them to be granted at the cost of most of the loyal supporters of their College. Even the New York graduates who gave the boat-house, and to whom we all feel grateful, would probably be more than content if merely...
...offense has only recently been taken up in a systematic manner and it is consequently still ineffective. The backs run slowly and interfere high and the linemen fail to open holes cleanly and at the proper time. The plays are slow and loose and lack the force which would exist if every man's energy were exerted at the right moment. Nevertheless, if the men continue to grasp the principles of football as rapidly as they have in the past ten days, they will undoubtedly form, at the end of the season, a reliable but not brilliant team...
