...agreements. Last year it was played in Cambridge. The receipts from the game were, as we are informed, some $1,200, all of which went to Harvard. It does not seem just that the Harvard faculty, by an arbitrary action based on reasons which to say the least, will admit of discussion, should at this late hour, after all contracts had been made, cause so great loss to us. If any changes in the rules seemed advisable to them, notice should have been given before, when any suggestion which they might have made could have received attention...
...learned professor in college to classes in his particular department? We have good material at Harvard and it is simply a down-right shame that it cannot be worked to the best advantage. Other college faculties attempted to do away with professional coaches, but their willingness to admit their mistake led them to rescind these measures. The faculty of Harvard have always been inclined to consult the best interests of the students, so that it seems very strange that in this particular they should stand out in the face of the unanimous opposition of our undergraduates...
...doubt if Harvard will ever play foot-ball "for all it is worth" until Harvard finds a competent coach-some one who will train our elevens as Mr. Bancroft has trained our eights.

Conflicting rumors as to the state of Cowie's health have been prevalent for some time past. We must admit that he hardly looked in his usual trim. Page-Philips striped short of work, but Ritchie, on the other hand, looked fit enough for anything. The last-named was backed at odds...
...prospects of the eleven are brightening. After the game with the Stevens, the New York Tribune announced that "it was generally conceded now that Harvard would be the champion this year." Although this is a rosy-colored view which possibly would admit of dispute in Yale or Princeton circles, yet the eleven has made great progress, and will undoubtedly play a strong game. Princeton played Stevens last Wednesday, and defeated them by a smaller score than our own. The entire regular eleven played with the exception of Moffat, the captain, who has a lame knee, and Poe, half-back...
