...care to hold the ball safely when he gets it would improve him. Abbot, at centre, runs fast and handles his crosse with much ease-catching and throwing well. He should be careful not to swipe, and should drop his balls a little nearer to goals. The defence field show the need of more practice. The reason for this is that the offence men keep the ball so well in hand at their end of the field that defence men fail to get their share of work. In today's game they will probably have enough to occupy their attention...
...team has been steadily improving since they took the field this spring, and show great improvement over their condition last fall. As this is their first game this season their work as a team will probably not be as good as it will later on, when a few practice games have been played, but in this respect it will be much better than the American team, as the latter plays its first game as a team today with the Unions of Boston.

We must not, however, on this account, strive any less earnestly for another victory, as we confidently hope that Harvard will again show her superiority in track athletics, although crippled by the loss of several men who have been of great assistance in winning...

This has been going on for some time, and the good effects of hard work are beginning to show themselves. Of course, freshmen can learn little of rowing on the machines, but what they have accomplished gives promise that they will very quickly turn into good oarsmen when once they row on the river-this they expect to do in about two weeks...
...more reason why our freshmen should put forth their best efforts to win. In view of the importance of that game to the Yale freshmen, it is to be hoped that it may be played here. If, however, such an arrangement cannot be made, brace, '87, and show your rivals on their own grounds that if the custom of playing the game here must be broken, the other and more important one, that of winning the game, cannot be taken from...
