...conclusion, it seems to the writer that our team is nearly perfect in running and passing, but that in throwing and united support of one another it is rather deficient. I hope no one will think these criticisms are given in a hostile spirit, for the writer can scarcely praise too much the improvement which has been made in the general play of the team this fall...
...enclosure in the basement of the Gymnasium for the winter practice of the Nine is perfect in its appointments. It is separated from the bowling-alleys by a brick wall, raised about four feet from the surface, and a wire screen placed above the wall, which allows the light and air to pass through, but keeps out the ball from the alleys...

Mr. Watson has been coaching them during the past two weeks, and his work has had a noticeable effect; but they have still much hard work to do before they can attain the perfect form of the crew of '78. Their present bad form is owing to no lack of conscientious effort, but to the fact that they were unable to be upon the river this spring as early as usual. It is well known, however, how much a crew improves by the practice...
