...game at all. As we have said before, the question is whether or not Princeton will agree this fall to play a game of foot ball with Harvard within the limits of New England. If Princeton very soon expresses a willingness to do this, then we feel sure that Harvard will do her part. It is utterly useless to say anything about a game outside of New England. We have a strict rule which cannot, now, under any circumstances be overlooked this fall. We call attention to the fact that reference to New England does not necessarily mean Jarvis field...

...serve a purpose. Those who have never had a chance to attend these Thursday afternoon exercises will understand, if they go this afternoon, why the Vesper service draws so many people to Appleton Chapel; those who in former years have been delighted to attend many times, will be sure to find the pleasure renewed...

There was a great deal of fumbling and some very poor tackling. Harding played a good game for the second eleven at quarterback; he did the only really effective tackling of the whole game.

...done and is now being done to get outside elevens to come to Cambridge; but, unfortunately, nearly all the teams worth playing have scheduled games in their own series to play from now on. Telegrams have been sent all over the country but with very little satisfaction. We as sure grumblers that the eleven will play some sort of a team on each of regular days, and, in point of fact, such a game as was played last Saturday is as interesting as can be desired...
