...light of the facts stated by the manager of our freshman eleven in our issue of this morning, it seems to us that the action of the Yale eleven cannot be too strongly condemned as ungentlemanly, discourteous, and unfair.

The faculty has acted very fairly to the body of undergraduates and graduates who have so great an interest in the point at issue, and their action will be received with favor by all. The committee of the faculty has also acted very fairly to the students in modifying their original resolve so as not to abolish entirely the game of foot...
