...football team will play Bates on Soldiers Field at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Last year Harvard defeated Bates 29 to 0, but as Bates has only five men of last year's team left, and as the backs are all new men, the team is much weaker than it was last year. A week ago today Yale defeated Bates 50 to 0 in two short halves, so that a large score may be expected today...
Both teams are stronger in pitching and fielding than in batting, and both have made an excellent showing against the weaker college teams, but have not been so successful against Princeton, Brown and Georgetown. If both Stillman and Robertson are in good form this afternoon the score will probably be small. The game should be closely contested, with the chances lightly in Harvard's favor...

To the hardy virtues that belonged...

Never has a college been more loyal to its teams in adversity. Never has a team physically weaker more distinguished itself than in tieing Harvard, and never has heart-breaking defeat like that inflicted by Princeton been endured with more silent dignity...
