...play, why did not Yale so express herself on the evening of the day that the game was played, and not wait nearly a week before sending the challenge? It is contrary to precedent as well. Only last year there was a tie, but no one heard of an actual proposal for another game. We can see no possible claim that the Yale freshmen have now for urging the acceptance of their challenge, and we believe that '87 does entirely right in declining to play again...
...than forty over last year; the whole number in the university is 1522, a gain of nearly a hundred over last year. This shows a most gratifying increase and is indicative of the rapid progress that Harvard is making. The new School of Veterinary Medicine has now become an actual member of the university and for the first time a list of its students is given.

This leaves a ridiculously short space for a game and in fact will, if not remedied, put a stop to all games played during the week.

...Saturdays handicap meeting the time 8 min. 5 sec. for the mile walk is spoken of as "slow." It is not remarkably fast time, it is true ; but it is not "slow." It is better than the best Yale record (8 m. 13 sec). Moreover Mr. Darling's actual time (since he started 10 sec. later than Mr. Shattuck) is about 8 minutes ; and therefore better than the time of the winner last spring. Allowance, too, should be made for the poor condition of the track...
Your article also gives the impression that Mr. Darling is not a proper man to be coached for the mile walk, and mentions a gentleman who walked but once last year when he made 8 min. 59 sec. (a minute slower than Mr. Darling's actual time this year, as the proper...
