These remarks are especially applicable to football at the present time. If a more [careful study of the game is made, so that "head woke" can be used as well as muscle, and so that the team shall be as a unit, ready to meet any emergency that [may rise while playing-if, in other words, we play a "scientific game" -the result will be most favorable to our chances of final success...
...game. Considerable work has already been done, and the number of men who have been practising during the last two months have laid the foundations for a good team if the material thus furnished can only be worked up into a homogeneous mass, playing well together as a unit, not liable to become "rattled" if by any mischance the score may at any time be adverse. With such work as is necessary, we cannot but hope for a creditable showing in this the first Yale-Harvard freshman lacrosse match...
...cope successfully with the Yale men. Such nines as those of the Newton High School and the Braintree nine, do not offer very formidable opponents to our freshmen, but every game familiarizes the men with one another's style of play, and tends to make the nine a unit.

The playing will be more even, and '87 will have a chance to learn, perhaps, that it is necessary to keep cool when the score is close, and not get "rattled" and go to pieces if at any time their...
...hardly realizes when he goes to breakfast at Memorial from his room in Holyoke, or Little's block, that he walks over a quarter of a mile, yet such is the fact. If we compare the distances we are accustomed to walk about college with some well-known unit, we can better realize how much they all amount to. Let us take, for instance, the blocks on Fifth avenue, New York. They number twenty to the mile. Taking these blocks, then, as a standard, we find that the length of the "quadrangle" from Holworthy to Grays...
...implicit obedience to his orders will go far towards instilling a spirit of self-confidence into the minds of the players themselves, and invoking reliance from the supporters of the nine. Individual glory must be considered secondary to that of the team. The power of playing as a unit, and of playing with determination can only be gained by playing hard to the very end. The nine in its present state is in its most critical condition. An honest, determined competion and a judicious selection of players can result only from the decided work of each man playing...
