...condition as the rain had not fallen in sufficient quantity to soften it. After an hour's energetic play the men were ordered to take a few turns on the running track, while Kimball and Peabody remained to practice kicking. The first few days of training are always the hardest and the countenances of many showed that yesterday was their first hard work after a few months of rest. The number of old players on the field was very small, Kimball, 86, Gilman, '85, Peabodv, '87 and Simpkins, '85 were the only familiar faces of last year's eleven...
Still, there is no need of despairing, and our only thought is to brace the freshmen to renewed efforts in the hope that the series will be finished with the favorable balance on their side. But to do this there is need of the hardest work on the part of the freshmen which they have ever done. No stone should be left unturned which can aid them in putting themselves into the field the next time in perfect condition.

The requirements for admission to American colleges today, including Harvard, are absurd, the boys having devoted, their attention chiefly to Roman and Grecian history in elementary text books. Probably a beginning at Cambridge will have to be made by allowing, for admission, an option of ancient and modern history...
...about the same as the first, Woodbury leading heavily, and Smith showing skill in countering. The fighting was about even, the round did not seem to belong to either. The final round was hotly contested. Woodbury commenced the fighting as usual by following his former tactics, and fighting hardest at the beginning. The round was in favor of smith. In the close fighting Smith showed himself the better boxer of the two, but Woodbury seemed to be the hardest fighter. It was a very good contest. In deciding the bout, the judges disagreed as to the winner, and the referee...
