...publish in another column the long expected attack upon eighty-eight for the action taken at their class meeting in regard to the Columbia race. Our New York brethren betray a tolerable amount of spleen, but their arguments contain too great an "element of weakness" to be convincing. They also show considerable ignorance of the science and requirements of boatracing, where the propelling force is manually performed. In asserting that a "crew in proper training and condition should be able to row two (four mile) races on consecutive days," they lay themselves open to challenge. The Columbia men have turned...
TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 13, 1887.- Graduates of Princeton College residing in this city are very indiguant over the action of Referee Camp in ruling out Cowan from the Princeton team in the foot-ball game with the Harvards at Cambridge.

There is reason for regret that we have no "Students' Representative Council" that might send an appropriate reply to this letter of greeting...
...there has been no action of any kind taken by the Yale alumni or the undergraduates with regard to the proposed international race. Last spring, when the question of the race between Harvard and Cambridge was being agitated, a few prominent boating men of Yale, held a consultation, at which it was decided that if the Cambridge crew came over here, and if Yale defeated Harvard, the wearers of the blue would challenge the Englishmen. As the latter concluded not to come to this country the matter was dropped. It is not at all probable that the Cambridge...
