...time been beyond our grasp. But to disappointment we are doomed, and upon our fond hopes and expectations a wet blanket has been thrown. Let not, however, all this enthusiasm of the past few days be in vain. In order that next year we may be able to cope with our rivals, foot-ball must not be allowed to stagnate this fall. Let the class games be played with old time vigor, else slim indeed will be our chances of success another year...
...match-games seems to be what our team most needs. In Saturday's game, our men were in better physical condition than their opponents. They out ran and outwinded them. But they lacked steadiness in playing against such old players as Ross and Davis. If they can learn to cope with such men as these, they will out-play Princeton. As for the disgrace of being beaten by these local clubs, the college is concerned only about winning the college championship from Princeton, and will not mind a few defeats like Saturday's, endured for the sake of getting practice...
...Such men are really very rare; but if we suppose that they do exist, and further suppose that their deception is so small that it is for all practical purposes zero, then and only then, can we say that they might on as fair and as equal terms cope with an examination designed to test their knowledge. Such men may, and may not, be right in their theory of examinations; but for ourselves we feel at liberty to differ with them inasmuch as we possess the required humility-and it does not take very much-to confess ourselves more ignorant...
...practicing on Jarvis, these words are perhaps unnecessary, for all such must have noticed, not only how few men were at work, but how small, comparatively, these few men were. There is really no material for an eleven which shall be able in point of size and strength to cope with our opponents. The men, collectively, are the smallest that have ever tried for places on an eleven here. The captain has requested that every large man in college, whether an old player or not, should present himself on the grounds and play, but his appeal seems to have fallen...
...enterprise in arranging practice games. Four games are scheduled for the next five or six days, so that the men will be kept constantly on the jump to meet these engagements. This looks like business. Such energy is what is needed to give the freshmen the necessary practice to cope successfully with the Yale men. Such nines as those of the Newton High School and the Braintree nine, do not offer very formidable opponents to our freshmen, but every game familiarizes the men with one another's style of play, and tends to make the nine a unit. The games...
