Taking into consideration the fact that yesterday was the first time that the men who made up the second eleven have played together, their work in the game with Andover was fairly creditable.

...asked right out and out to justify the stand which Harvard has taken. Experience has taught us to expect misrepresentation from the press of the country, but it is even more exasperating to think that owing to our own failure to get at the bottom of things, we have often caused misunderstanding. The good that one can do by presenting to his friends a clear and reasonable statement of all that has happened is inestimable, and it is to be hoped that every Harvard man will feel it his duty to correct as far as possible the talse impressions which...
