Very naturally, football is at present the most engrossing topic in college circles, and the result of the Harvard Princeton game is awaited with a degree of interest second only to that you yourselves feel. A number of accidents has kept our eleven in an uncertain state as regards its composition; Gill '89 and Rhodes '91 are just recovering from sprains, while Woodruff '89 did not begin training with the team until the first of this week. The half-backs are not chosen yet and probably will not be until the Princeton game. The work of the freshman team...
Finlay is still suffering from the effects of the injury he received several days ago, and it is uncertain when he will be able to play again...
...along without any idea as to whether he was going through a hole in the rush line or into his opponent's arms. Neither of the half-backs got under the ball when it was kicked, but almost invariably waited for the bound, which is a wretchedly slow and uncertain way of playing, at best. The fact that the ball was slippery and the quarter-back passed too swiftly would excuse the backs for some fumbling, but certainly not for the bad work of yesterday. It is plain the team must "take a brace," and today is not too early...

Tracey, full-back, is an awkward player, and while often making brilliant plays, cannot be depended on in case of emergency. Besides these men, McClung and Morrison, who were half-backs on the Exeter team last year, Adams, Clawson and Bayard have also...
...respect and hearty admiration that we think could hardly exist were not the colleges drawn together as they now are. The athletic life which every-where engages lively interest, and which affords endless opportunity for competition, comes surely to the surface, while the intellectual life in which competition is uncertain and unsatisfactory sinks beneath, but still exerts a far reaching and, we believe, an unimpaired influence on the community at large. We see in these contests which arouse ambition and which render the existence of a large number of physically perfect men absolutely necessary, advantages before which the disadvantages sink...
