...games will be held this spring. "this should be called the prince of cinder paths, and we will explainwhy. It is a quarter mile in circuit, and down one side runs a 220-yard straightway. It was built last spring, and with a season's frost, should, by May 24th, with proper care, be in splendid condition. Its sides are 150 yards straight, and its curves 70 yards. This latter is the only drawback. But the straight do a great deal to offset this. The 220 yard straight is about the best part of the grounds, as, when two champions...
Dear Sir :-Yours of March 24th was duly received, and I should have replied sooner, but have waited to ascertain what days the university would use Jarvis field, and I wished to learn what the class thought in reference to our game with you. I have spoken with Loud, captain of our team, and we have decided that, if possible, we had better arrange the games by correspondence, as the expense of meeting you at Springfield would be considerable, and it seemed hardly necessary to do so. I am sorry that I have to ask you to play the first...
Dear Sir :-We agree to play the first game at Harvard on May 17th, if you will play the second here on the 24th, and in case of a tie, the third at Springfield, on the 31st.

The terms are, I think, fairly enough, one-half gate receipts, and one-half expenses at all games,-net receipts...
Yours, WM. KENT.As we had already arranged a game with the Phillips Manufacturing Company, of Fitchburg, for May 17th, and as the examination in chemistry came the 24th, I wrote to Mr. Kent, stating that it would be impossible for us to play on those dates, unless we played here the 24th, and I asked if he would agree to play the first game in Cambridge, May 24th, and the second in New Haven, May 31st. To this no direct answer has as yet been received ; but it seems from various reports from Yale sources, that Yale, '87, being dissatisfied...
...speakers, Mr. Goodwin, declared that "upon consultation with a large number of upper classmen, and upon finding the views of the class on the subject, he thought that the whole college would sustain the freshmen demanding to have the first game played in New Haven on the 24th of May or not at all. Upon unanimous agreement it was resolved to have Mr. Goodwin's views communicated to the Harvard nine." We do not doubt that Mr. Goodwin was entirely right in stating that the whole college would support the freshman in this demand, or in anything else the freshmen...
