...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 with the Brown freshmen and Andover Academy are different. The playing will be more even, and '87 will have a chance to learn, perhaps, that it is necessary to keep cool when the score is close, and not get "rattled" and go to pieces if at any time their adversaries have a lead in the score. '87, with the material which it has, ought to come out of these next few games with...
Dear Sir :-Yours of March 24th was duly received, and I should have replied sooner, but have waited to ascertain what days the university would use Jarvis field, and I wished to learn what the class thought in reference to our game with you.

From these editorials we learn that Quip is "a girl," and from this infer that the central figure on the title page is a portrait of the fair daughter-in-law of Life. We think the editors should have adopted the name suggested in the last editorial, the Yale Brace, as indicating the decided need of the paper. The first picture (on page...
