Kermit Roosevelt tells President Roosevelt about an upcoming football game which he is confident his team will win. They needed a referee for the game and Walter Camp and Charles Dudley Daly were unavailable, so they have Harvard coach, Joshua Crane. He explains to Roosevelt his plans to take up boxing next year, because he wants to learn how to use his fists. He also mentions that Bishop Charles Henry Brent is visiting and has invited him to stay with him in the Philippines.
