...purpose a meeting of delegates from college faculties had recently been held in New York. A committee from that assembly would meet today when it was expected that, without doubt, all the colleges, with the possible exception of Yale, whose purpose no man could fathom, would unite in an agreement to do away with both employing professionals as trainers and playing with them in games...

In the first place the faculty force the Harvard management to break a definite verbal agreement entered into by representatives of the two colleges acting through the Yale foot-ball president, with the consent of the Harvard president, Mr. Clark, and the manager of the polo grounds. This manager would have perfect right to claim damages from Yale and Harvard for breach of contract...
