...hoped that the attempt to prevent class football games from deteriorating into rushes is not responsible for the small attendance at the game yesterday. Probably most men felt that they would not be missed, and as a result of their apparent lack of interest the teams cannot but feel that they are representing only a small part of their classes. In the game this afternoon both teams should be impressed with the fact that they are playing for a much greater object than to defeat the eleven men who face them...
...have been taken to make the Bolyston street bridge perfectly safe, and able to hold the great crowds of people which will pass over it on November 23, the day of the Yale game.

On the whole, however, the performances were not as good as last year...
...football team. The time of departure should fit in between engagements, so that no one will have the conflicting attraction of a lecture or other important appointment as an excuse for absence. The team is leaving for its first crucial test of the season, and since distance will prevent most undergraduates from attending the game, the least the University can do is to give the team a send-off which will last until the game is played...
