...Some comment has been made upon the freshman game at Southboro which may lead the freshmen to feel their position with reference to foot-ball rather desperate. Nothing has been more familiar in past years than for our freshman foot-ball elevens and base-ball nines to encounter defeat at the outset. How familiar to us have grown such phrases as "freshmen rattled," "wretched game," "decided brace," etc. It is the custom for freshman teams to feel defeat. They need it. But to draw too hopeless a conclusion from defeat is not the means to accomplish a necessary...
...varsity team. The second reason for the revival of scrub matches still remains in force, and to us it seems to be the one of most consequence. The small amount of open-air exercise taken by the majority of undergraduates has often called forth a great deal of unfavorable comment, and fairly enough, too.

...fact in connection with the Boylston Prize contest of this evening has occasioned considerable comment amon those intending to compete. This year, in direct opposition to the established precedent, the would-be prizemen have had no regular rehearsal of their parts. In former years, it has been the custom to lay aside, in a degree, the work of the elocution department, for the purpose of giving systematic training to those about to contest for the Boylston prizes. This year, we are told, the rehearsals of the Shakspere Club have taken so much time that this has been impossible...
