President Roosevelt hopes that his son Theodore Roosevelt gets to play in the football game between Harvard and Yale. He asks about the athletic achievements of his classmates. There is nothing of interest to report from the White House, although Archibald Roosevelt went hunting with Presley Marion Rixey, took two shots at a rabbit, and missed. Robert Bacon is doing well under Secretary of State Elihu Root.
