...much altered and improved. Especially may this be said to be the case with Rugby foot ball, as a single fact will well evidence. The champion team of last year, the Torontos, were this year badly defeated by the Brittanias of Montreal whom they last year vanquished ignominiously. The personnel of both teams was nearly the same in both matches. The result on the last occasion of this meeting being attributed to be totally different, and as results showed improved style of play adopted by the Britannia Club...
...foot ball, lacrosse, base ball, rowing, and tennis, we have met signal and crushing defeat. It was with the utmost difficulty that the cup was brought back, and the present aspects do not favor the assumption that even this will be repeated this year without great efforts. The personnel of the freshman eleven is such that good earnest work will have every chance of gaining its just recompense-a victory over Yale.

If these do not tend to improve the team then it will not be the fault of the management if our eleven...
...most fittingly said, alas the old, but ever new, plan of throwing a sop to Cerberus, that "the personnel of the Cleveland procession will be very different from that of the Democratic procession of the past." But that was, really, a very unkind cut on the part of the Independents. We sympathize, however, most deeply with them in this matter. And then, too, the writer of the letter thinks that "the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will probably take part in the procession." Indeed ! Yet, having given this matter "early consideration" as was desired, we are led to move that...
