Although it is somewhat early to predict how strong a team Yale will put into the field, there is no doubt but that it will be far above the average. It is improbable however, that it will equal last year's team, with its clean score, for it will be a very difficult task to find men good enough to fill the places left vacant by the departure of such old players, as Heffelfinger, Morrison, McClung, and Barbour...

Quite possibly, too, the Law men themselves might in the end, as some...
...clearly the places in Cambridge of interest to strangers and giving valuable information to one visiting them. Not to those only who are unacquainted in Cambridge will this book prove useful, for it contains many little facts of interest, unknown to a large part of those who feel themselves somewhat at home here. It also contains among others several cuts of the Longfellow house, Elmwood, and James Russell Lowell...
