...book has been placed at Leavitt and Peince's for the signature of those who ??? to accompany the eleven to Princeton next Saturday. It seems almost needless for us to urge every man who possibly can, to go with the team; but we feel so positively that the success of the eleven in the contest with Princeton will depend largely on the support the college gives it, that we can not help saying an earnest word in hopes that it may influence those who are levitating whether to go or no. The team has been very unfortunate in losing valuable...
...more, "wind" than foot-ball, it is absolutely necessary that all new men who wish to try for the team should begin regular work immediately. Later on there will be some "stick" practice for those who have not yet learned how to handle a lacrosse racquet; but it is needless to say that, unless a man shows interest enough to do the regular exercise in the gymnasium, he cannot expect that pains will be taken to teach him this later acquirement. Nobody need be discouraged concerning his chances of getting on the team, for six out of the twelve position...
...needless to tell those who have thought intelligently of the problem of physical development that Professor Sargent approves of boxing in its place and in moderation for certain people.

It is the classes left in college who must respond to this appeal. It is needless to say that '89 and '90 realize the responsibility thrown upon them, but the freshmen should be reminded that they too must put their shoulders to the wheel. Every man who has the welfare of the college at heart should go to the gymnasium and see if he is not good...
...members of the eleven start for New York at nine o'clock this morning. It is needless for us to review their work during the past season. Everyone knows that Harvard has never before had a more thoroughly conscientious, hard-working eleven. We hope that the result of to morrow's game will be favorable, but in any case all praise is due to the men who have worked so faithfully and who have already accomplished so much. We trust that when the team leaves Bartlett's in the barge the college will give them a royal send...
