...Practice in 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...

The college, of course, has a college yell, a bell ringer, and a young lady in the Dean's office. What college hasn't? And the prayers are voluntary. So, after all, Boston University is well worth attention, thinks the visitor...
...situation. Just at present there are several matters in which the conference committee, if it were established, might be useful. It might inquire of the faculty, for instance, the reason why the bulletin boards of the nine were prohibited from the yard; or it might seek to learn the faculty's state of mind on the professional question, and whether any good whatsoever has been accomplished by forbidding the nine to play with professional teams, and by prohibiting professional coaches...
