...agreement of Harvard and Cornell to engage in sports is the absorbing topic at the quarters of the crews. It came as a big surprise to Yale, for nothing of the sort was anticipated. The matter has been pretty freely talked over since the news came in the morning papers. Robert J. Cook would not talk about the matter, as he knew nothing except from the papers. Favorable conditions tomorrow will probably lead both the Yale and Harvard crews to go over the four miles at speed...

Yesterday morning Professor Ames announced that Harvard had made an agreement with Cornell, providing for contests during the next two years in football, baseball and rowing.

Cornell's athletic reputation has been chiefly won through her crew, but in football and baseball as well, she has of late years begun to take high rank. There is every reason to expect a series of interesting contests...
