...Harvard University Cycling Association has already challenged Yale to a team race, and although they have as yet received no answer, it is known that the Yale men are training and intend to accept if they find that they can get enough men in shape. The Association at its last meeting voted to challenge Columbia, and there is also a probability of a challenge being sent to the Boston Athletic Association...
...outcome of the negotiations, any alumni should have hesitated about taking any steps which might, complicate the discussion.

We are inclined to believe that they favor a dual league with Harvard. If they do, and also favor purity in athletics they will undoubtedly accept Harvard's proposition. We believe that such a step would greatly benefit the colleges and satisfactorily solve the doubts and difficulties that now surround the positions of both...
