...near approach of the fall meetings held by the Athletic Association induces us to say a word to the freshmen on the subject of track athletics. The Mott Haven Cup has now been ours for six consecutive years. To bring it again to Cambridge will require the most strenuous efforts on the part of the, whole college. The loss met with every year by the graduation of the athletes in the senior class can be made good only by recruits from among the freshmen. From them, then, the college expects a strong delegation to compete for the vacant places...
...Pennsylvania and Wesleyan, have formed a college league, as is well known probably to most of our readers, and the old rivalry between Yale and Princeton seems as fierce as ever. At Yale the foot-ball men began work several days before the opening of the college year, and strenuous efforts are being made to make good the loss of the strong players who graduated with eighty-five.

...base ball. In the autumn let us send out foot ball teams to the various schools, and attempt to awaken there an interest in college sports which will induce men, otherwise uninterested, to enter with a will into steady athletic work. Many of our old boats which are making strenuous endeavors to rot away in idleness, if sent to the different schools, more widely than heretofore, would bring us in a few years the most valuable material for successful crews. This idea could enter into the treatment of every phase of athletics, and tennis and lacrosse would feel its influence...
